Part I : The Cartulary

The charters and other documents recorded in the Cartulary of the Augustinian priory of SS Peter and Paul, Ipswich throws light on an institution whose early history was mostly shrouded in obscurity.  They are an important source for the study both the expansion of the priory estates and the consolidation of its holdings by the gist or purchase of adjoining parcels of land in common fields.  Included are various manorial documents, estate surveys and a mine of information for the student of place-names.

Welcome to the Suffolk Records Society

For over sixty years, the Society has been committed to producing books that bring Suffolk’s rich historical literature to a wider audience. Covering a period of 700 years these volumes of letters, diaries, maps, accounts and other archives have made a major contribution to historical studies of the county and are a useful tool for both professional and amateur historians, as well as being a source of information for anyone interested in Suffolk’s history.

Every year, the Suffolk Records Society produces at least one new book throwing light on some fresh aspect of the county’s history. There are two series of volumes, the General Series, for which we publish a regular annual volume, and the Charters Series, for which we publish occasional volumes of Suffolk charters and cartularies.

The Society’s members share a passion for Suffolk and its history and it is their support and subscriptions that have made possible this remarkable opening up of the historical landscape.
