Landed Family and Estate Papers Subject Guide

British Records Association

This collection of some 1300 documents relating to Hull and the East Riding was deposited in tranches by the British Records Association from the 1940s on. The highlights are papers for Cottingham including manorial records, papers for Sunk Island and a series of original bundles of title deeds relating to the estates of the St Quintin family of Harpham and Scampston. Most of the collection is composed of title and estate papers dating from the thirteenth century onward, though there is also the account book of Lady Elizabeth Wenlock 1852-63 and the early business records of Isaac Reckitt 1818-1855.
