The chapter consists of the major canons or prebendaries. Under the Marian statutes, the chapter was to meet fortnightly, with General Chapters held on 20th November and 20th July, holding the annual audit of accounts and election of officers
(vice-dean, treasurer and receiver) at the November General Chapter. The dean's consent was required for all leases, appointments and other formal documents issued by chapter (
, Marian statutes,
chapter 7). In addition to the cathedral's own business, the chapter confirmed a number of episcopal appointments and leases.
From 1937, the Honorary Canons are included in an enlarged or 'General' Chapter (the previous twice-yearly meetings being thereafter called 'Great Chapters'), which meets annually and additionally for election of bishops or other matters as
specified in the revised statutes. The constitution and statutes of 2000 make the dean chairman of the chapter, and add the chapter clerk and two lay persons to the membership, as well as adjusting the rules for meetings of chapter and making
provision for an additional Council to oversee the work of chapter. See
Records relating to all the formal business of the Chapter, including meetings, documents issued under seal, confirmations of episcopal patents, and records relating to the election of bishops and to the Dean and Chapter's spiritual and temporal
patronage

Records of the sealing and registration of documents issued under the dean and chapter's seal
Main series of seal registersReference: DCD/B/BA/1-138Dates of creation: 1541-1914
Mainly copies of documents issued under the chapter's common seal. The most common documents included in this series are leases of chapter properties. Licences to alienate (allowing chapter tenants to assign their leaseholds) and confirmations
of episcopal patents are also common in the registers.
The post-Dissolution Registers (sometimes known as
Lease Registers) among the Durham Cathedral Archive form an almost unbroken series covering the period 1541-1870: there is a gap during the Commonwealth, and there
is a volume missing between Registers 132 and 133, and another between 134 and 135. The Registers contain a variety of material, but their general function is that of seal registers - that is, they seem to be meant to contain copies of all documents
issued under the Chapter's common seal. Some of them also contain copies of a few items not issued by the Chapter (for instance, Registers
1,
25,
51,
52), or not normally issued under seal (for instance records of the
installation of bishops, deans and canons, of a royal visit
in Register
11, and of
episcopal visitations in Registers
11,
18 and
26). For a more detailed impression of the documents registered for 1541-1583, other than leases and confirmations, see the detailed catalogue of Registers 1-4.
By far the commonest documents in the Registers are
leases of Chapter estates; these take up the majority of the space in all the Registers up to those of John Banks Jenkinson, dean 1827-1840. Just before Jenkinson's
time, in the mid 1820s, the experiment was tried of merely calendaring leases in the Registers, but in Register 99 (1828-1829) leases are again copied out in full; soon after this time they become less common in the Registers, and Register 107
(1834-1835) has no leases at all in it. After Register 107 leases are almost completely absent from the Registers, although a couple can be found in Register 115. Plans associated with leases begin to appear in Register 101. The ending of the
registration of leases in the 1830s may have been unintentional: there seems to have been no decision by Chapter on the point, and the Registers continue in the 1830s and later to have blank leaves in large enough numbers to accommodate the texts of
numerous leases. It was the practice to seal leases, and to copy them into the Registers, at and immediately after the two General Chapters each year, and it may be that the Chapter Registrar intended merely to postpone and not to abandon
registration. The ending of registration does not mean that the texts of leases are lost, since counterpart leases were preserved; these counterpart leases were later transferred to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners and returned to Durham by their
successors the Church Commissioners (as the
Church Commission Durham Cathedral Estates deposit). The ending of registration does, however, make the later registers of Jenkinson and his
successors very inconvenient volumes since a Register of 200 or 300 folios may turn out on examination to have 90% of the folios blank.
The other very common documents in the registers are
licences to alienate and
confirmations of episcopal patents and leases. Chapter tenants were not allowed to sub-let their leaseholds,
strictly speaking, but they were allowed, on the grant of a licence under the Chapter seal, to assign the whole of their leases to sub-tenants, and in the 18th century this became a very common practice. By the Statute 1 Eliz. c. 19, as interpreted
and extended by the lawyers, an episcopal patent granting an office for the life of the officer was valid only if confirmed by the Chapter of the see, and by the Common Law any episcopal lease (except leases for 21 years or 3 lives granted at, or
less than a year before, the expiry of a preceding lease; these were allowed by 32 Henry VIII c. 28) needed confirmation by the Chapter if its validity was to extend beyond the end of the grantor's tenure of the see. 1 Eliz. c. 19 prohibited
episcopal leases for terms longer than 21 years or 3 lives except to the Crown, so that after the first year of Elizabeth's reign the only leases whose confirmation ought to appear in the Chapter Registers are leases to the Crown for terms other
than 21 years or 3 lives (and these were prohibited by the Statute 1 James I c. 3) and concurrent leases.
The first 52 registers were referenced using letters, A-Z and AA-ZZ, until numbers were adopted in the 19th century. These letters are noted in the following entries, but should not now be used when referencing the volumes.
A calendar of registers 1-4 (1541-1583),
excluding the leases, is included within this catalogue. A manuscript calendar of registers 1-16 (to 6 October 1670, including leases) is available in the search room at 5 The
College.
