Selection and destruction information (Information about how the record was selected for archiving)
- The contents of the files were heavily 'weeded' in the early twentieth century, before they arrived at the Public Record Office. The amount of papers in the files now varies considerably. Some of the files now comprise only the file cover. The cover may, however, be annotated with information such as whether all tithes in the parish were merged.
