Hanes archifol
Medieval annotation on f. 72, and some annotation of 16 cent. on ff. 37 verso, 68, 78-79, 168. An inscription at the end of the Calendar (f. 6 verso) states that the manuscript was presented to the parish church of Oswestry [then in the Diocese of St Asaph] by Sir Morys Griffith, priest, in 1554, he being the incumbent at Great Easton from 1543/4 until his death in 1557 ('This Booke was geuen to the hye Alter of the Paryshe Churche of Oswestrey by Sr Morys Griffith Prist. To Praye for all Christen Sowles the yere of oure Lorde god a thowsande fyue hundred fyfty and foure'). Owned by James Brydges, Duke of Chandos (ob. 1744), and sold as lot 2983 in his sale of 1747 (then in two volumes). It thereafter sold as lot 164 in Thomas Martin's sale of 1772. Owned by William Maskell before 1844 (his bookplate inside front cover and annotations on ff. ii verso, 262, and references in his Ancient Liturgy of 1882); later to Henry Huth (1815-78) (his bookplate inside front cover and see F. S. Ellis, The Huth Library (1880), iii, p. 981), thence to his son, Alfred Henry Huth (1850-1910), his sale 6 July 1916, lot 5036; thence to John Meade Falkner (1858-1932), his sale 13 December 1932, lot 296, when it was bought for NLW.

Ardal cynnwys a strwythur
Natur a chynnwys
An illuminated and noted missal of the mid-fifteenth century, probably copied in a London workshop, and apparently of Sarum use. The Rev. W.H. Maskell's theory that it was the sole survivor of the 'use of Bangor' is not substantiated by subsequent authorities on liturgical studies. Originally produced for the church of Great Easton, Essex, for the Calendar includes its dedication, at 4 August ('Dedicacio ecclesie sancti Egidii de Eyston. ad montem'); a note by a later hand at 20 August of the death of William Jaye ('Obitus Willelmi Jaye') and an erased inscription in the bottom margin, show that the manuscript was still at Great Easton in 1508.
References to the pope (e.g. f. 261), to purgatory (f. 256 verso) and to St Thomas of Canterbury (e.g. f. 24) are, as usually, erased or cancelled, particularly so in the calendar. Responses for the marriage service are given in English (f. 240), with English forms of the priest's address to couples added in a late-15th or early-16th cent. hand on f. 239 verso.
