Catalogue description DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE THORNES FAMILY

The collection has been divided up into three main sections, the deeds and papers relating to the Thornes of Kynaston, those relating to the Thornes of Argoed, and thirdly the documents of families related to the various branches of the Thornes family.

The collection has been arranged primarily to show the history of the family, therefore the groups of deeds are listed chronologically according to the date of acquisition of the property by members of the Thornes family, rather than topographically. In order to assist searchers working on the history of the areas where the property is situated, an index of the deeds arranged under parishes alphabetically has been compiled.
