Unfortunately it has not been possible to consult Faber's catalogue in compiling this calendar, but, with some exceptions, his arrangement of the documents is clear from the numbers which were written on the deeds themselves and on the hessian
bags in which each group was packed. The documents were divided into numbered groups according to the location of the properties to which they refer, and each was given a number within its group. This arrangement is retained here, but the Roman
numerals used throughout by Faber have been translated into Arabic ones. The reference numbers of documents not now present have been included in the calendar, and their whereabouts indicated if known. Descriptions of those now in the Durham County
Record Office are given in the list of Sherburn Hospital Records issued by that Office in 1987.
The material is organised into the following sections:
1. Whitwell, Sherburn and Quarrington Moor.
2. Whitton, with Stillington and Thorpe Thewles.
3. Garmondsway, Raisby and Quarrington
4. Bishopton (and Grindon)
5. Redmarshall and Smallmoor
6. Cassop
7. Hartlepool
8. Gateshead
9. Coxhoe
10. Bishop Auckland
The documents have been left as far as possible in the order given them in 1835, but it has been necessary to make the following assumptions and amendments. In section 3 an assumption is made as to the identity of two lost documents; this may
prove to be mistaken if the originals ever come to light. Although for section 4 (Bishopton) a note in Canon Greenwell's hand recorded that nos. xvi and xvii were "not here May 1 1903 ", it nonetheless yielded an envelope of Greenwell's containing
three fragmentary Bishopton documents without surviving numbers; after repair two of these were assumed to be the missing items and were designated 4/16 and 4/17, while the third proved to be a duplicate of no.ii, so that this pair is now numbered
4/2a and 4/2b. It was also found that two different Bishopton docuents had been endorsed "xv" by Faber; these are now numbered 4/15a and 4/15b. In section 8 the number "xxxiii" endorsed on one deed is clearly an error for xxiii, and the reference
has accordingly been revised to 8/23. Finally, the single deed relating to Bishop Auckland, although endorsed "No. v", had no obvious place in the series, and has been designated 10/1.
