About the book >.>.> This book, titled *A Calendar of the Books Charters Letters Patent Deeds Rolls Writs and other Writings in the Cases and Drawers of the New Muniment Room of St Mary's Hall*, is authored by John Cordy Jeaffreson. It serves as a catalogue of various archival materials housed in the New Muniment Room of St Mary's Hall in Coventry. The author undertook the task of sorting and documenting these historical records over a period of thirteen weeks, beginning on 18th February 1895, during a considerable thaw after a long frost.The catalogue includes a meticulously organised collection of writings that encompasses books, charters, letters patent, deeds, rolls, and writs. Jeaffreson worked diligently to restore and arrange these materials, adding descriptive labels to facilitate better understanding and navigation among the various documents. His efforts were bolstered by the previous work of Mr. Browett, the late Town Clerk of Coventry, who had already made significant strides in classifying older records, thus enabling Jeaffreson to complete his task more efficiently.Additionally, Mr. Lewis Beard of the University of Cambridge assisted in refining Jeaffreson?s catalogue, making several enhancements with approval from the author. This collaboration ensured that the final work reflects a higher standard of presentation and accuracy. As this catalogue becomes available to general readers and specialised students, it stands as an important resource for those interested in the history of Coventry and its archival documentation. The comprehensive nature of the compilation aims to serve scholars, historians, and members of the public alike, providing insights into the administrative and legal practices of the past.
