Description1. Schedule of cottage rents collected in April 1901.
2. Schedule of cottage rents collected in June 1901.
3. 9 Oct 1901 from William Gilchrist Clark Maxwell proposing to visit the following week although Alice (his wife) would not accompany him as she and the children would be visiting Mrs Selwyn at Lichfield. Whilst at Lacock he intended, if possible to do a certain amount of work with Brakspear on stone fragments and on manuscripts by himself. He would be bringing with him a companion to the "Sharington Groat" in the form of an electrotype half sovereign, he had received in return for some help given to a friend about church bells.
4. 12 Oct 1901 from William Gilchrist Clark Maxwell regarding his visit, expressing interest in the find of a vaulting cross, that he wished to get an idea of the amount and nature of the medieval deeds and that until he had made progress he had refused a request from the Shropshire Archaeological Society to edit the "Cluniac Statutes".
5. 25 Oct 1901 from William Gilchrist Clark Maxwell reporting on the groat and the electrotype half sovereign, that Sharington appears to have issued gold coins for the years that he was in charge of the mint that were all alike and that he did not appear to have issued any coins bearing the name of Edward VI in either gold or silver. William therefore proposes that Sharington's misdemeanor was not counterfeiting so much as issuing coin after he knew it had been officially stopped.
6. 22 Nov 1901 from William Gilchrist Clark Maxwell, confirming that he and Alice were thinking of going to London and was there anything Charles would like him to look at the British Museum or the Record Office.
7. 2 Dec 1901 from William Gilchrist Clark Maxwell reporting on his visit to the British Museum, a list of Grimm's sketches and realization that the half-sovereign previously reported on was actually a crown.
8. Schedules of small or cottage rents collected in December 1901 (2).
9. 23 Nov 1901 from G H Palmer to say that he had been prevented from visiting the day before due to toothache and discussing the change of tenant.
10. 1 Jan 1902 from the Bath Photographic Society returning photograms.
11. Feb 1902 from G H Palmer enclosing a cheque for £50 for the Malmesbury Abbey Restoration, recommending a reading room for preserving the morals of the village youth and recommending Richard Foley as a potential agent for the estate.
