Harvey

Much of the month has been spent recovering from Hurricane Harvey and that process is still on-going.  We are still hoping for updates from the University of Glasgow and the University of Edinburgh, but our paid researcher was not able to take on translation of the 1395 charter given his current backlog of work.  We're still looking and have a close starting point based on the updated transcription and a translation by Simon Taylor of a related charter.

Although the 1395 charter seems to be the oldest in the Hill Collection, Muniments 73 does mention a 13th century charter and we will look further into that for details.  

Thanks for your continued support!
