Dates:
c.19th cent.
Description:
19th century copy of a transcription of a Latin document titled 'The Booke of Selby', which appears to relate to Selby Abbey. The inscription at the beginning of the transcription reads: 'The Booke of Selby remaining in the custody of Richard Walmersley of Dunkenhalgh Esq. which he lent me the - day of May 1667. Christopher [Townefey?]'. Please note that the date in May is not given, and the surname is difficult to decipher; it could by Townesley or Townesey, however, there appears to be only 1 character between the two 'e's, and this has a crossbar which would indicate an 'f'. Please also note that Dunkenhalgh is a manor in Lancashire.
