The book appears to have been composed during the eighteenth century, and contains schedules of deeds of title and property transfer relating to the manor of Paris Garden 1536-1725. It also contains records of the eighteenth-century proceedings of the Paris Garden Court Leet, not transcribed here. The book was acquired in 1927 by the Lethbridge family, who inherited the manor of Paris Garden in 1819. Ellipses mark where text is missing or illegible. Text has been modernised, but surnames retain their original spelling.
