‘Tractatus de Dunstaple et de Houcton’, edited by G. Herbert Fowler. [Of the 10 surviving folios of the Tractatus of Dunstable, folios 1-5 deal with Dunstable Priory; and folios 6-10 with Houghton Regis, where the Priory’s most important Bedfordshire lands lay. These documents duplicate some information in the Dunstable Annals and Cartulary (for the annals see the Rolls Series; for the cartulary see BHRS vol. 10). The documents cover the foundation, administration and property of the priory and its relations with Houghton Regis, Kensworth and Caddington, from which places land was taken to set up the priory and town. The Treatise of Houghton deals with the rights and services of the lords and tenants of the vill before and after its transfer to Dunstable Priory. The documents in this volume date to the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. They are presented as Latin transcriptions with English translations and are explained by copious notes and a pedigree of the Gournay family.] ‘The origin of the family of Aubigny of Cainhoe’, by Lewis C. Loyd. [This article updates Fowler’s article in BHRS vol. 1] ‘Calendar of inquisitions post mortem, no 2, 1272-1286’, by G. Herbert Fowler. [Twenty-three inquisitions of lands held in Bedfordshire with copious notes and pedigrees.]
‘Some recent accessions to the County Record Office.’
