ShelfmarkYAS/MD335/3/12/5
Creation Dateca. 1700 - 1710
Contents NoteA collection of Francis Nevile's sermons, some with the preaching dates noted. Sermons are prefaced with pages giving a list of dates, which can be assumed to be dates of preaching. ff.13, 25-6 are blank.
Material Features94 ff. Bound into a leather tooled, small volume, with the spine marked "MSS. Nevile Sermons, Chevet, Yks 1700-1710". Possibly bound by Harry Bradfer-Lawrence (1887-1965). Generally written in a clear hand. Some sermons are written on only one side of the paper. Some water damage and pages mended with glue. The sermons seem to have been bound together from different sources as pages are slightly different sizes. f.1r is a handwritten title page in red and black ink.
ProvenanceFrom the records of the Yorkshire Archaeological Society, now held at the Brotherton Library.

Other NoteSeveral of the sermons are dated after Francis Nevile's death on 2 June 1707, but they are potentially the work of his brother, John Nevile, who succeeded him at Chevet in 1707.
