An account of the Spencer Stanhope Mss now at Sheffield is given in, "Guide to the Manuscript Collection in the Sheffield Public Libraries", by R. Meredith, Sheffield, 1956. The papers at Sheffield are complimentary to those at Bradford; for instance, both Sheffield and Bradford have letters from Capt. Shuttleworth in America (late 18th century), and correspondence relating to the West Riding Militia and Staincross Volunteers. |

Custodial history: |
The Spencer Stanhope Mss were deposited over a number of years at Bradford City Library (now at the Bradford Archives Dept.), Sheffield City Library, and the Brotherton Library, Leeds. In 1955 the papers were divided, so that Stanhope and Spencer Stanhope (Hors - forth) would remain at Bradford, and Spencer and Spencer Stanhope (Cawthorne) remain at Sheffield. It may be seen from the calendar, however,, that many South Yorkshire papers are still at Bradford, including nearly all the medieval deeds. |

Administrative / biographical background: |
The Stanhope family came into Yorkshire in the 16th century and lived at Horsforth until the late 18th century, when Walter Stanhope heir to both his uncles John Stanhope and John Spencer, took the name of Spencer Stanhope and made Cannon Hall, Cawthorne, his chief residence. During this period the Stanhopes acquired many other estates, by purchase, marriage and trusteeship. |
