| Description: |
This catalogue was made by William Courthope, Somerset Herald, in 1836 from a number of older catalogues as well as the original deeds. At the beginning of the catalogue he wrote: 'Catalogue of Charters in the possession of George Campion Courthope, Esquire, at Wyleigh in the County of Sussex, and which being entrusted to me by his father, George Courthope Esq. decd, for the purpose of collecting from them any information relative to the Pedigree of the Family, were by me, all properly arranged, numbered, & tied up in brown paper parcels, marked & specified in the following Catalogue, a duplicate of which is in my possession '23 March 1836 William Courthope' The deeds were deposited with the Sussex Archaeological Trust in January 1956. K. W. Dickins, the Honorary Curator of Deeds, opened the parcels and checked the contents with the catalogue. A typescript of the catalogue was prepared, with his notes on discrepancies, missing items, etc. The deeds were transferred to the East Sussex Record Office in 1982 and accessioned under reference 'SAS/CO'. In 2003, the reference has been changed to 'SAS-CO/1', with the later deposits of the family's archives, previously SAS/COa, b, c and d becoming SAS-CO/2, 3, 4 and 5. Dickins's notes, to the extent they are still relevant, have been assimilated into the body of Courthope's catalogue. A summary of contents has been added References to the parcels and their numbers have been deleted, as the documents are no longer stored by these numbers. Dates are as given by Courthope who seems to have followed Old Style. Reference in descriptions to immediately preceding deeds have not been edited, so there are many instances of, for example, 'Same to the same', 'the said last mentioned lands' and 'Counterpart' without further explanation Summary of contents SAS-CO/1/1-39 Manor of Whiligh in Ticehurst and Wadhurst;
