A book of Records in a Tudor hand rather miscellaneous at the beginning and often faded. A new pagination beginning early seems to contain from folio 4 Notes of the proceedings before the Court of King's Bench from 1st Edward I in regular sequence relating to Manors &c. This is followed by an Index by Counties & runs to 119 folios without the Index. The Record ends in the 35th year of the Reign of Edward I & contains a note of his death. On the flyleaf are the words "Left to Mr William Agar by the note"
