Some pedigrees and wills of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries are written in a much later hand upon the unnumbered pages at the end of the book. They relate to the families of Daniell, Blake, Mugge, More, Strode and Norton. It is stated at the foot of the first page of them that ‘These pedigrees are written by the hand of James Gressham of Fulham in Middl. esq.’ There is also one page of index.
