Arrangement
In the County Terrier series, the date shown in the catalogue is typically taken from the conveyance deed by which Derbyshire County Council acquired the property. Other deeds and documents relating to the same parcel of land are stored in the same packet, although the full date range is not usually recorded in the Date field.
Deeds and documents which pre-date the council’s acquisition (e.g. epitome of title of a previous owner) are not usually catalogued. However, many packets do include a schedule of deeds and documents drawn up prior to the acquisition, which serves as a useful contents list.
Documents which follow on from the council’s acquisition of the land are listed as “further transactions” in the Description field, alongside their dates.
Leases are stored in the same packet as other deeds but were originally recorded in a separate card index. For this reason, descriptions of leases are given in a separate catalogue entry with document reference ending in /LEASE.
