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:

without contradiction from any person spiritual or temporal.
Signed at the top with the sign manual (

being absent, with the executor issuing a decree of excommunication in many copies against those opposing the restitution, witnessed by Master Geoffrey of Malton NP by imperial authority, Alan of Teesdale, William de Scaccario, Hugh of Grindon,
Robert of Cotum, William of Brackenbury and many other clerks and laymen; on the morrow the proctor Robert of Rothbury went to Sherburn hospital to notify the bishop's official, Master Richard of Morpeth, of proceedings with which he said he would
concur, witnessed by Nicholas de Hesington, John of Weardale, William of Haswell, and Hugh of Grindon; on [29 April] the same proctor set out for Holy Island to claim possession of Fenham manor where Robert Shirlock responded that its custody had
been entrusted to Robert the Coroner by the bishop's ministers Walter of Rothbury and John of Horncliffe and it could only be yielded up under a special mandate from the bishop, the papal letters notwithstanding; the proctor then went to Holy
Island, meeting Robert the Coroner who was leaving there and reiterated the position about Fenham; the proctor came to the priory of Holy Island where his entry was resisted by Richard of Rothbury, Robert of Helmsley and Roger dictus Welbester and others, with Rothbury rejecting his claim for the restitution of the priory to Hoton, saying he would not do so, even to his own father, without the express mandate of the bishop, and forbidding any in the
area from giving hospitality to the proctor on pain of imprisonment; whereat the proctor withdrew from the bishop's lands by night, not without great danger.
Witnesses to this and the many copies: Gilbert of Rothbury and John of Compton, clerks; John of Burdon, Hugh of Grindon and Andrew Postel valetti.

DCD Misc.Ch. 5709a. [9 July 1283]
Process of the election of Antony Bek as bishop of Durham, individually subscribed by 64 of the community's monks, each with his name and a sign manual.
Probably the most remarkable document now among the Chapter Muniments, not least for the fact of its survival. Drawn up in quite extraordinary circumstances (well described by C. M. Fraser, 1957, pp. 32-6), there might well have been Durham monks
who have wished to see it destroyed when the dispute with Bishop Bek broke out in 1300. Two centuries later it passed through the hands of Thomas Swalwell, as his endorsement shows. In the mid nineteenth century it was presumably among the documents
catalogued during the first phase of the creation of "Miscellaneous Charters", when damage from vermin and damp had probably already occurred. There is no evidence that CMF saw it when working on Bek, since she would otherwise have surely mentioned
it. Before repair it was nigh on unusable, but Meryl Foster gave it her attention, to very considerable effect (see note by AJP to frontispiece of Joan Greatrex 2011). Repair was undertaken by George Peart, as part of the programme supervised by
Martin Snape for the whole of the Misc.Ch. class; fortunately this was done when "sausage-skin" had become commercially available, and the policy of rerolling documents after repair using this material had been abandoned.
The significance of the document is immediately obvious. 64 monks subscribed individually to the election of Antony Bek, each in his own hand, with his own ink and his own pen, adding to each entry a sign manual, which he presumably used in other
circumstances, such as the marking of platters and clothing which were washed communally, thus preventing careless treatment of these items by one monk being visited on his fellows. The document was apparently drawn up in accordance with notarial
practice (`In nomine ...'), a formula, which [pace Cheney] had persisted in Durham in the framing of wills, and so, like an earlier diploma, did not require sealing; manu propria sufficed,
although earlier precedents for this do not come immediately to mind, and a sign was equi-valent to what a notary would have used.
The circumstances in which the document was created are not entirely clear. The election of a new bishop of Durham following the death of Bishop Robert of Holy Island on 7 June 1283 took place on 9 July in secret. The vacancy had prompted
Archbishop Wickwane to attempt to assert rights of visitation; he was stoutly resisted. The monks, presumably calculating that they would thereby be best served in resisting Wickwane, elected one of Edward I's favourite clerics, who was also from a
good family. It seems likely that some monks did not endorse this course of action, and that may account for some notable absentees among the signatories. The most obvious is Richard de Hoton, whose animosity towards Bek found expression as early as
1284; if Dr Fraser correctly pointed to an impoverished background at Hutton in Cleveland as his origin, then he was a native of Wickwane's own diocese, and from a very different social stratum to Bek's.
The subscribing monks do not occur in order of seniority, and are most easily taken to have subscribed when they were not otherwise engaged, and hence added their names later than the actual election process. With the aid of the standing
ultra-violet lamp they were: Richard [Claxton] prior; Henry of Stamford (714); [Ambrose] of Bamburgh (634); Henry of Horncastle; Gilbert of Sherburn (635); William de Aslakby (642); Geoffrey of [New]castle (660); William de Castro (662); Richard de

Copy bill of complaint in chancery by John [Piers], archbishop of York, and Thomas Burton LLD in a dispute with the dean and chapter of Durham about the right to custody of the spiritualities of the see of Durham sede
vacante, arising out of a vacancy of the see caused by the death of Bishop Richard Barnes [1587], in the time of the archbishop's predecessor Edwin Sandys, when Thomas Burton was appointed the archbishop's commissary to exercise the
jurisdiction, but was ejected by Dean Toby Matthew and the chapter of Durham, who claimed and exercised the jurisdiction themselves: the bill alleges that, although an appeal by the dean and chapter has been decided in favour of the archbishop by
the High Court of Delegates, the dean and chapter have now brought an action in the Court of Queen's Bench, whereas the question is not one for a lay court, and if pursued this action is likely to lead to the question of fact being tried by a jury
in the County Palatine of Durham, where the dean and chapter have undue influence; also that the dean and chapter have taken possession of written records which would prove the archbishop's case: request is made that a subpoena be directed to Toby Matthew, dean, and the chapter of Durham to appear in chancery to answer the bill, and that an injunction be issued to them and their agents to cease proceedings in Queen's Bench
With notes in the margin for the guidance of the dean and chapter's attorney.
Dating note: the case in the High Court of Delegrates here referred to is stated to have been heard by virtue of a commission dated 16 February Eliz. I [1590]. Archbishop Piers died 28 September 1594.
