From 1869 Masters of workhouses were required to record the religious affiliation of inmates in Creed Registers so that appropriate measures could be taken in the event of illness or death.

Details recorded in each register vary over time but usually include: name; date of admission; religious creed; name of informant; and in some cases date of discharge or death. Registers from 1906 record occupation and address of relation or friend. Registers from 1908 include 'place admitted from' or 'where slept last night' in each entry.

At the outbreak of war in 1939 the infirmary of the old workhouse was equipped to become an Emergency Medical Services Hospital. The infirmary received 77 non-civilian patients in 1939, 623 in 1940 and 434 in 1941. Creed Registers from 1939-1941 therefore record admissions details of military war casualties (see refs PLU/2/3/17-19)

This collection consists almost entirely of letters about the affairs of the Yorkshire Association not previously printed, though it includes a very few which were included by Wyvill in his political papers, and also a few draft paragraphs which appeared in print in York newspapers. There is considerable correspondence about the collection of signatures to the petition for economical reform and to the Association in 1780, and to the petition for parliamentary reform in 1783. Many letters of Wyvill to William Gray, the clerk to the Committee of the Association, illustrate Wyvill’s organization of propaganda in the York newspapers, and can be connected with paragraphs appearing in the Chronicle and in the Courant; some of them throw light on his opinion at different times of the progress of the campaign for reform.

Includes details of rooms hired, printing costs, postal services, advertising of meetings and expenses for travelling to London.

Includes two deeds which were co-located with the collection, presumably relating to lands owned later by the Weatherill family.
