The small number of papers relating to the Reverend John Blanchard and his family relate to his title to the curacy of Kilnwick, the vicarage of Lund and rectorial rights at Middleton-on-the-Wolds in the first three decades of the nineteenth century.

In more detail, the papers include a 1799 valuation of the vicarage and glebe lands in Lund allotted in lieu of tithes, 17 letters mostly about financial and local affairs in Lund, a valuation of the curacy and vicarage done around 1827 when John Blanchard died and was succeeded by his son, the appointment of John Blanchard to Lund as part of his marriage settlement and papers related to settlements after his death.
