This report, prepared by the Historical Manuscripts Commission and edited by Mrs. S. C. Lomas, examines the manuscripts preserved at Grimsthorpe by the Earl of Ancaster. It includes an extensive collection of historical documents spanning from the Elizabethan era to the 18th century, such as letters, deeds, inventories, and household accounts. The manuscripts provide valuable insights into the lives of prominent figures, including Peregrine Bertie ('the stout Lord Willoughby'), his son Robert, and the first Earl of Lindsey.
