Catalogues the Banks, Wentworth, Loseley, Colville, Wisbech, Bromhead and Chetham Library swan-rolls.
Name index at end.
Banks (Witham) Swan-roll, from Archaeologia XVI (1812).
Wentworth Swan-roll, BL Add. MS 23038, a copy, presumably by Dawson Turner, covering east Norfolk and north Suffolk.
Loseley Swan-roll, then at Loseley Hall, seat of Molyneux family, originally property of Sir William More, swan master for Surrey. Not earlier than 1572.
Colville Swan-roll, a facsimile copy in Wisbech Museum and Library, made from original register of 1587 for Isle of Ely in possession of C.R. Colvile, MP in 1866 when the facsimile was presented. Ticehurst notes that original of 1587 must have been copied from something over 30 years earlier than 1587. Notes that parts of roll have been reproduced in History of the Colvile Family (privately printed 1896) and S.H. Miller and S.B.J Skertchley, Fenland Past and Present and a letter about roll is in East Anglian, III, p. 10.
Wisbech Swan-roll, Wisbech Museum, after 1622.
Bromhead Swan-roll, exhibited by Mr E.A. Bromhead at temporary display for Archaeological Institute at Lincoln, 1850, afterwards published in Archaeological Journal, 1850. Later location unknown. Ticehurst’s description based on facsimile copy made by Bromhead, seen by him in Lincoln public library. Roll is very similar to BL Add. MS 6301 and Harley MS 3405.
Chetham Library Swan-roll, formerly in possession of Thomas Barritt (d. 1820), antiquary of Manchester (Notes & Queries, Series III, XI, p. 428), Chetham Library. Includes ‘The Gamester’s Oath’, transcribed by Ticehurst.

Numerous drawings including facsimile colour copies from the Colville and Wisbech rolls.
