Calton Deeds

YAS Index to "Calton Deeds" ref. DD203

The 'Calton Deeds' were extensively used by J.W. Morkill in his book The Parish of Malhamdale, published in 1933 where many are translated and relate to the estates of the Lambert family of Calton. They were called 'Calton Deeds' by Morkill to distinguish them from the 'Tarn Deeds', which are also held at the YAS and form part of the Bradfer-Lawrence Collection. The two sets of deeds were separated when the former Lambert estates were split up in 1785 and the Tarn Deeds passed to the Lister family. The Calton Deeds are held by the Yorkshire Archaeological Society archive in Leeds and the catalogue descriptions are reproduced here with their permission.

Introduction

These 'Calton Deeds' were part of the archives of the family, Barons Ribblesdale, and were calendared by Tempest together with deeds etc. relating to Gisburn, Swinden, and in Craven, and material relating to the family. These documents are now part of the Bradfer Lawrence collection (MD 335) at the YAS, and contain a letter from J.W. Morkill dated 24 Feb. 1909 acknowledging receipt of the 'Calton Deeds' on loan. These subsequently remained with Morkill family papers at the offices of Charlesworth, Wood and Brown, solicitors, where they were listed by the National Register of Archives in May 1965. A few further Calton deeds were added to subsequent to her first arrangement of the deeds. These were not borrowed by Morkill, but remained with the main collection (now MD 335)

This arrangement of the deeds follows that made by the NRA in 1965. Mrs. Tempest's references are given at the end of each entry and the descriptions given are copied from the NRA list.
