  Note on dating : when the collection was originally catalogued many of the documents were dated by the Sessions to which they related. Because the electronic catalogue does not recognise such dating, the following convention has been applied : Epiphany is given as January, Easter as April, Translation as July and Michaelmas as October, as these are the months in which these Sessions normally were held.
