The class Miscellaneous Charters was created in the mid-nineteenth century by Joseph Stevenson, in the process of cataloguing substantial portions of Durham Cathedral's medieval muniments. How exactly he proceeded is not clear, but his work did
not cover major sections of medieval material, notably the documents catalogued in the late fifteenth-century Magnum Repertorium, and also almost all the accounting material. He catalogued the documents classed in the sequence of numbered Locelli, a
medieval creation whose basic principle of arrangement according to subject he retained, but without preserving its details. The documents initially assigned to Miscellaneous Charters had clear topographical associations, for the arrangement
evidently began with an alphabetical order of places in view, and it is uncertain whether it was originally intended to have in this class the very much more miscellaneous material, some of it post-medieval, that Stevenson went on to include;
nonetheless, where he could do so, he attempted with each fresh batch of material to maintain an alphabetical order of places.
Stevenson left the arrangement of the documents catalogued in the Magnum Repertorium untouched. Despite the fact that catalogues survived, or could be reconstructed from endorsements on the documents, he re-arranged every other medieval
collection of deeds, assigning the documents to Miscellaneous Charters. Subsequently, with the aid of the extant catalogues, Canon Greenwell restored what he believed to be the arrangement of the deeds of the Almoner (Elemos.), Finchale priory
(Finc.), and the Sacrist (Sacr.), transferring the documents out of Miscellaneous Charters. He did not attempt the same with the Scottish material, although the catalogue in Misc.Ch. 1026 might have made this possible, and he left in Miscellaneous
Charters the collections which are attested by endorsements on the documents, notably the Communar's deeds, also the deeds of the Trinity chantry and of the chantries of Bishops Skirlawe and Langley. Documents remain in Miscellaneous Charters whose
endorsed medieval markings reveal that they formerly belonged in the system of locelli, or in receptacles described as cista and cophinus. Also within Miscellaneous Charters are to be found a substantial number of post-dissolution documents, most of
them from the period 1540-1600. One notable medieval collection found in Miscellaneous Charters is a private fifteenth-century deposit of Claxton family deeds; these are only readily identified by the fact that they concern property and other
matters with which the chapter had no connection. The same applies to a single document relating to property in Ireland, Misc.Ch. 5243, presumably deposited by its beneficiary, who never returned to collect it; there may be other, less conspicuous,
examples.
Placed in the University's care by the Dean and Chapter of Durham in 1948.
Permission to make any published use of material from the collection must be sought in advance from Durham Cathedral Library (library@durhamcathedral.co.uk). The Library will assist where possible with identifying copyright owners, but
responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material.
To make the catalogue of Miscellaneous Charters less bulky it was split into parts in April 2018. As the Charters do not have a single logical sequence, so the split is purely by number and does not convey any significance by the
grouping:

Mandate of William [Booth], archbishop of York and papal legate, to Lawrence [Booth] bishop of Durham, or his vicar general, ordering him to summon together will all possible speed the prior of Durham and all the clergy of his diocese, and to
cause them to grant a subsidy for the defence of Christianity against the Turks; reciting the following letter of King Edward [IV], received by the archbishop on 22 June.
Signet letter [of King Edward IV to the archbishop of York], requesting him to direct letters to his suffragans requiring them to assemble the clergy of their dioceses and to cause them to grant a subsidy of a sufficiently large sum, to be levied
in all haste, so that this subsidy may be offered to the pope in place of the tenth which he wishes to obtain from the English Church to help pay for the crusade against the Turks which he has undertaken: since collectors in the dioceses of clerical
subsidies granted to the king are unwilling to be accountable at the Exchequer, the king has named in Council at London six persons (three clerical and three lay), namely Master William Say, dean of the Chapel Royal, Master Thomas Chichele and
Master John Fleming, and Sir John Scotte, John Denham and Thomas Colt, royal councillors, to receive the payments from the collectors.

authority of Roger de Mowbray, earl of Northumberland, as was evidenced by two writings: one showed that Waldeve earl of Northumberaldn had given the church of Tynemouth to Durham, by charter in the church of Durham, affirmed by Walcher bishop in a
general synod, and later confirmed in another writing by Bishop William [of St Calais]; clerks and laymen of great age were also produced who asserted that the monks of Durham had peacefully possessed the church of Tynemouth; the abbot of St Albans
did not attend, pleading a heavy infirmity; the prior of Durham said he was disappointed by the great dealy of half a year since the citation was made, and so he appealed to the pope, hence the suit was hereby referred to the pope.

Three separate sheets concerned with expenses, presumably from latter part of a booklet of the type used for Howden altarage accounts of 1511-2 and 1512-3 (4.1.Ebor.59 and 60). The pattern of entries and in particular of
payments to clerks, including the chaplain of Skip[with] stall, indicate this is a Howden altarage account. It is clearly close in date to the accounts for 1511-2 and 1512-3, mentioning many of the same people, but is taken to be slightly later as
it mentions William Baxter's wife and a man of that name was married on 14 October 1512 (4.1.Ebor.59 f.2v, line 7).

Bursar's summary account,
“Computus Officij Bursarij Monasterij Dunelm A festo Pentecostes Anno Domini Millesimo Quingentesimo Tricesimo quinto vsque idem festum Anno Domini millesimo Quingentesimo Tricesimo Sexto”. The form is very close
to the Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535 (v.301-303), but here the sections for outgoings come between temporalities in County Durham and all other sources of income, and include almost all the heads of expenditure found on a
bursar's account, although not entirely in the normal order.
f.6r-8v
Blank
f.9r-v [1540]
Rents formerly the B[ursar]'s due to the D[ean], Martinmas 1540.
“Temporalia que onerantur super B tamen soluuntur ad manus D vt patet in libro Recepte per manum suam propriam pro termino martini in Anno Domini 1540mo”.
ff.10r-17r 12 January 1553
Arrears of rents from 1542 - 1552.
“Arreragia diuersa firmariorum Balliuorum Collectorum et aliorum officiariorum De arreragiis suis debitis et non Solutis ad xijm diem Ianuarii Anno regis nuns Edwardi Sexti Sexto”. Ten annual sections, headed 35
Henry VIII - 6 Edward VI, each presumably referring to the accounting year closed at Michaelmas in the year specified.
f.18r-19v [c.1535-1539]
Priors bill for small purchases in London,
Marginal notes against entries: bursar, warden [of Durham College Oxford], and prior of Finchale indicate a date before the surrender of the monastery on 31 December 1539.
[This item is a separate bifolium, now bound up with material ranging in date from 1535 to 1556. The hand is very similar to those found in the financial records of the cathedral priory during the last decade of its existence. The endorsements,
f.19v, are “billa domini prioris £8 13s 7d” and “stuff bought at london”.]

Some of the entries here for spices are the same as those on DCD Bursar's Book M f.173v-176v.
f.24r-v [c.1540]
[Sacrist's] rents in Durham, fragment. The first part, from which the verso continues, is missing. Each entry gives the name or description of the tenant and the rent; some indicate the nature of the holding. All the
holdings appear to have belonged to the estate of the monastery's sacrist, and the amounts given are the annual rents, but the list is selective, not complete, and so may be a list of arrears (Sacrist's Rental 1500). One holding, Allergate north
side 5 (f.24v), is described as last in the hands of Thomas Blunt, who occurs as tenant in 1529 (Crossgate Court Book f.205v); as the sacrist's property formed part of the endowment of the new cathedral foundation, the list may be later than the
surrender of the monastery on 31 December1539, and the tenants' names do not diverge significantly from those in the Receiver's Book for 1542-1543 (Rec. Bk. 2). The streets covered are part of Allergate, Crossgate, Framwelgate and Claypath.

“Wooyd that was delyueryt fourth off Akeleff park in the zere off ourer lord god M.D.lvj”. The entries, each giving a name and number of trees, are arranged in sections by township; calculations of receipts are
added at the end.
f.28r-v 9 June 1538 - 25 May 1539
Summary almoner's account.
“Computus officij elemosinarii Dunelm a Festo pentecostes anno domini millesimo quingentesimo tricesimo octauo vsque Idem Festum anno domini Millesimo quingentesimo tricesimo nono”. The form is comparable to
f.1v-5v above, and hence to the Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535; here, as against a normal almoner's account, various receipts are omitted, and a brief section for fees and stipends replaces the sections for gifts and for
pensions.

[Almoner's] Durham rent heads.

pensions, soulsilver, repairs etc., alms, expenses of proctors of churches and chaplains, expenses in London, and expenses at audit. Some entries are marked in the left margin with the initial letter of the monastic office holder who had previously
accounted for the item of expenditure concerned: bursar, communar, almoner, Finchale prior, sacrist, terrar/hostillar, cf. Receiver's Book 2 (1542-3).

Copy letters of H[enry Newark], archbishop of York, acting as papal executor, to the prior and convent of Durham, reciting the following mandate. The archbishop, having by enquiry to which the prior and convent were summoned, found the said clerk
to be praiseworthy and honest, and that nothing was put forward that should hinder his provision, reserves to him the next vacant benefice in the prior and convent's gift in the city or diocese of York, inhibiting them from presenting any other
person. After inspecting the present letters and retaining a copy if they wish, the prior and convent are to return them to the same clerk or the bearer.

has been examined in literacy and found suitable by Raynald [Concoreggi] bishop of Vicenza, Master Bartholomew dean of Poitiers, and Brother Amanenus de Mota, friar minor. The benefice is not to exceed an annual value of 25 marks if a parish church

Misc.Ch. 7309. mid/late 19th century
Cash book (blank), which has been repurposed for listing parts of the priory archive as follows:
Account rolls for monastic cells and the bursar, in the hand of ? Joseph Stevenson [mid 19th century]. Faded writing on the torn paper cover of the book appears to refer to this list.
Almoner's deeds (Elemosinaria, Elemos.), in the hand of William Greenwell [late 19th century]. Additions have been added on left hand pages, and some entries marked 'wanting'.
This section of the book has been paginated as p.[1]-83, with p.2 (opposite list for 3.1.Elemos.) cross-referring to lists that are out of numerical sequence.
Greenwell's list of Elemos. seems to be based on the list in
the Almoner's Small Cartulary (Alm.Sm.Cart.) p.39-66, with much variation:
- Greenwell
abbreviates many of the entries and does not include the headings that show the geographical arrangement of the deeds
- Greenwell has added items that are not in the Alm.Sm.Cart. listing, and in some cases allotted numbers to these items which had been originally used on other Almoner's deeds (ones which he did not identify and transfer into Elemos.).
There are therefore discrepancies between numbers endorsed on the documents or recorded in the Alm.Rntls&Cart., and numbers allotted by Greenwell. It is Greenwell's numbers that are used in the list following. Cross-references to documents
that originally had the same number were previously expressed using square bracketted numbers, but are since September 2023 given new numbers for clarity, with the previous medieval numbers recorded within the catalogue entry. Likewise, some of the
Almoner's deeds remain within Misc.Ch. See for instance under 5.2.Elemos.20-25 for further discussion on those particular items.
The current Elemos. list attempts to include a reference to every Almoner's deed that has been identified from either Greenwell's list, or their endorsements, or copies within Alm.Rntls&Cart.
Binding: paper covered boards, both loose
Previously kept within search room at 5 The College as the only available listing of Elemos., but moved into this series 14 September 2023.
