Notes by the Editor:

Edwyn Lord Bishop of Southwell was Sir Edwyn Hoskyns.

There are three anomalies in this Terrier. The first is that it mentions that a plan or map of the Glebe was produced and was included with the Terrier in the submission to the Registry, however when the Terrier was received at Nottinghamshire Archives the plan or map was not included. The second is that the Terrier is clearly dated 1908 both on the front cover and at the end but under section 4 dealing with the Glebe lands there is a written statement dating their sale in 1918 in the same hand-writing ? Thirdly there is a statement that a sum of £600, being the proceeds of the sale of the Jericho lands, was invested in India Peninsular Railways whilst further on in the Terrier there is a repeat statement that the £800 proceeds of the sale were invested in the Great Indian Peninsular Railway.
