Custodial history

The documents in this collection originally formed part of the main Batsford estate archive, but at some point became separated. It is not known when or why this happened; staff at the Batsford Estate Office thought that it might have occurred during Lord Redesdale's ownership of the estate, before its purchase by Sir Gilbert Wills
