Content: The analytical introduction describes the two rolls, the commissions of the peace, the justices who presided over the session, the place and work of the sessions, the offences and the punishment of offenders. The Latin transcriptions of the entries are provided with English summaries. The majority of cases (c. 200) were common law trespasses of one sort or another (assault, fighting, taking goods, disturbing the peace, threatening behaviour, etc.) More serious crimes classed as felonies (petty treason, homicide, larceny, robbery and accessories to these offences) accounted for less than 50 cases. One of these serious offences was by the parson of Eversholt who wounded a man, fled to his rectory, and killed one of the men sent to arrest him. The rolls only record the offence and, usually, the outcome.

Content: This is a selection of the letters to Edmond Williamson, rector of Millbrook from 1740 until his death in 1775 and also rector of Lolworth in Cambridgeshire. Williamson was from a Bedfordshire family. He was educated at Westminster and Trinity College Cambridge. About 300 letters addressed to Edmond Williamson have survived. Of the 182 printed here, about half are in full, the remainder abbreviated. Most of the letters were from Edmond's brother Talbot, who lived in London, and whose property in Husborne Crawley Edmond looked after. Others were from their sister Christian who was married to a retired naval captain; a few from a cousin Edmond Horne; and one or two from other people. The letters tell of family life, house improvements and decoration, food, dress and fashion, marriage, bringing up children, books, estate management, enclosure, travel, highwaymen, poverty, and war.

Content: This is a calendar in English of the coroners' rolls for c. 1265-1317 and 1378-1380, held respectively in The National Archives and Gonville and Caius College Cambridge. The introduction explains coroners' duties and court procedure before focusing on the work of the Bedfordshire coroners. Included are lists of the medieval coroners for Bedfordshire (1230-1478), Bedford (1240-1456), Dunstable (1228-1411) and the Bedfordshire liberties of the Abbot of St. Albans (1287-1326) and Eton College (1451). The rolls contain cases of murder, assaults and thefts and tragic accidents such as that of five-year-old Joan in 1274. Aside from crime, the rolls reveal the conditions of daily life at the poorer level of society, agriculture and the countryside.
