Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of Dunster, Vol. 1: And of the Families of Mohun Luttrell
There was, in the eighteenth century, a collection of nearly a hundred medieval documents in Dunster Church, relating to the rights of the burgesses and the endowments of the local chantries. Many of the more important of them have disappeared, a former incumbent of the parish having apparently considered himself free to do what he would with such things. A century ago, a well - known antiquary unblushingly referred to some of the originals as being in his own possession; one of them has found its way to the Castle.

I have referred to this as D. C. B.
