Abstract

The archive of the dissolved Benedictine priory of Marrick consists of over one hundred medieval charters plus a wide range of other documentation relating to the administration of the monastic estate from the dissolution of the priory in 1539 to the early eighteenth century. This article traces the history of the archive and explains how the bulk of the surviving documents came to be divided between the Brotherton Library at the University of Leeds and the Hull History Centre.
