Arrangement note
The series is arranged at file and item level. The Bermondsey Annals are of international interest but they do not stand alone as the other material in the series has often been used to inform the writing of the annals, therefore the archivist has arranged the series to reflect this. Further accruals of annals are expected from the Bermondsey Convent of Mercy.
