© University of London 2017 VCH CHIPPENHAM VOLUME SOURCES This document is the work of Dr Gordon McKelvie, who was contracted in 2016 by the Wiltshire Victoria County History Trust to examine the major series of printed editions of (primarily) medieval sources, and to extract from them references to Chippenham and the seven nearby parishes that will be included in volume 20 of the Victoria County History of Wiltshire. Each parish is the subject of a separate document, in Word and PDF formats, which have been posted on the Wiltshire pages of the national VCH website. This composite document brings them altogether, to enable rapid searching. The parishes – Bremhill, Chippenham, Christian Malford, Hardenhuish, Kington St Michael, Langley Burrell, Pewsham, and Tytherton Kellaways – are presented here in alphabetical order. The series of sources consulted, with exclusions and cut-off dates where relevant, are as follows: Close Rolls Patent Rolls Fine Rolls Charter Rolls Liberate Rolls Curia Regis Rolls Ancient Deeds Acts of the Privy Council Committee for Compounding IPMs Inquisitions Misc Fees/ Feudal Aids State Papers Domestic Letters & Papers H8 Papal Registers Record Commissioners publications (where relevant, not Domesday) Rolls Series vols (chronicles, etc., relevant to Wilts, and Red Book of the Exchequer) Pipe Roll Soc volumes English Episcopal Acta – Sarum diocese Canterbury & York Soc, bishops registers – Sarum diocese HMC reports Regesta Regum Anglo-Norm These are by no means the only sources that yield information about the history of the Chippenham area in the medieval and early modern periods.
