As transcripts of parish registers ('Bishop's Transcripts') were often handed in at visitations, the series of these within the Episcopal Administration section of the Durham Diocesan Records includes some returns to articles, presentments and
lists of wardens' names. These are noted within this catalogue under

The following tables summarise some of the topics addressed by the visitation returns, but do not claim to be comprehensive and make no attempt to reflect the nuances of the questions on particular topics at different dates. The 1857 volume
contains tabulated extracts only, as summarised within the list following, so is excluded from the tables. The visitation returns for [ca.1736], 1758 and 1801 have also been included, although these survive only patchily, not in this series but
incorporated into the parish files in DDR/BP/PAR/1-2, as have the returns from Dean and Chapter churches for 1917 within DCD/M/A/1/8 (see under Related Material above).
These returns were retained within the Bishop's Office rather than the Registry, and so previously formed part of the separate collection of Auckland Castle Episcopal records. They were previously referenced under accession numbers AUC/1/64-90,
AUC/1/142-143 and AUC/4/1-19.
The table below indicates whether or how the volumes are indexed: information on contemporary indexes is included within the list below, other indexes to parishes are modern, and either pasted into the front of the volumes or kept in the search

Episcopal visitations of the diocese (main series of papers and volumes)Reference: DDR/EV/VIS/5Dates of creation: 1668-1940 (but listed to 1900 only)
Extent: 63 boxes
This series includes inhibitions, odd sets of clergy visitation articles, general monitions, clergy and churchwardens' call books, by the late 19th century some churchwardens' certificates (re their admittances), some presentments (generally not
a complete set for each deanery), from the late 18th century onwards churchwardens' returns to visitation articles (often not a complete set for each deanery), some lists of comperta, details of procurations and visitation expenses, relaxations of
inhibitions and miscellaneous papers and correspondence.
The series generally excludes printed visitation charges, which are usually found in printed books collections, and completed clergy visitation returns, which are listed at DDR/EV/RET above.
These papers are arranged chronologically by visitation.
Within each visitation the documents are arranged by type and in an order which reflects as far as possible the chronological order of the visitation proceedings. Subseries such as churchwardens' presentments and visitation returns are further
subdivided by visitation centre and then by deanery and parish. From 1861 onwards the churchwardens and clergy were usually visited at separate times (with the churchwardens' visitation, carried out by the chancellor on behalf of the bishop, usually
taking place in the spring and the clergy visitation in the autumn); the arrangement of the papers reflects this pattern.
As they were frequently handed in at visitations, the Bishops' Transcripts of parish registers often include visitation material, most commonly noting “no presentments” on the back of the transcripts. The following
parish register transcripts (
series DDR/EA/PBT/2) include more specific visitation material.
