This remarkable catalogue documents the select series of ancient deeds, rolls, books, and letters housed within the Evidence Room at Berkeley Castle in Gloucestershire, England. It includes every deed in the vast collection dating from before 1250, as well as all documents after that date that are notable for their subject matter, calligraphy, or seals. Among the most notable of these is a group of five charters dating back to the end of the 12th century. These remarkable documents shed new light on the existence of a hitherto unknown religious house, the Friary of St Michael, located on the island of Steepholm in the Severn estuary.
