New Style dating has been used throughout the Catalogue. The number of documents in each bundle is given. In many cases this figure is only an approximation intended to indicate the size of the collection. Similarly, a few of the larger 'GDR volumes', where not foliated or paginated by F. S. Hockaday and not described in detail, have been given an approximate number of folios to indicate their size. Many volumes have been foliated or paginated more than once, but it is advisable when in doubt to follow F. S. Hockaday's blue pencil foliation where it exists, or the ordinary pencil foliation made during the present cataloguing. A higher folio or page number preceding a lower (e.g., ff. 10-3, pp. 312-260) indicates that the volume has been used from both ends. The spelling of place-names throughout this Catalogue has been taken from the 1967-1968 editions of the appropriate diocesan year books. Where there are variations within a year book the form more commonly found in the records has been adopted. |

ARCHDEACONRIES AND RURAL DEANERIES There have been many changes in the boundaries of the diocese and of its archdeaconries and rural deaneries, particularly since 1836. This table sets out the important dates and main changes; the many transfers of parishes between deaneries are not noted here, but are indicated in the index at the back of this book. 1541 3 Sept - Foundation of the diocese of Gloucester Rural Deaneries: Archdeaconry of Gloucester: Bristol, Gloucester, Campden, Hawkesbury, Cirencester, Stonehouse, Dursley, Stow, Fairford, Winchcombe.

His courts were held at Mitcheldean.) 1542 4 June - Foundation of the diocese of Bristol The diocese of Gloucester remained as above, except that most of the large rural deanery of Bristol was transferred to the new diocese of Bristol, and only 10 parishes were left as the deanery of Bristol within the diocese of Gloucester.
