This section contains groups of deeds, wills, and some miscellaneous papers arranged by H.L. Bradfer-Lawrence in series, and numbered by him. Gaps in the numbering indicate where he abstracted deeds for other series. Some have been renumbered in BL/CS and BL/DX. What survives in these groups is highly miscellaneous and the arrangement is random. Fuller details of many of these deeds are to be found in Bradfer-Lawrence's own typescript catalogues, see BL/LW 3/1B-4. These catalogues also contain some information about provenance.

Medieval title deeds relating to estates in both Norfolk and Suffolk given or sold to the Priory in the thirteenth century, the majority of which, however, relate to priory lands in Ickworth, Suffolk In addition, there is one deed relating to land in Bourn, Cambridgeshire which was granted to the Augustinian priory of Barnwell in Chesterton, Cambridge, and also two deeds relating to an estate in Diseworth, north Leicestershire. The latter's connection with Bromhill Priory is uncertain, but the Bromhill, Bourn and Diseworth estates were all granted to Christ's College, Cambridge at various dates after the suppression of the monasteries in the first half of the sixthteenth century.
Most of the deeds have been identified, in red ink on the dorse, by the name of their parish or vil and also, where necessary, by a number (e.g. Ickewrth II). Presumably, these references relate to a register or cartulary created by the priory. Many of them are endorsed with thirteenth, or early fourteenth, century summary descriptions of the grantor and the estate, and are also endorsed with a later (probably eighteenth century) ?antiquary's summary of their contents. In the case of the Diseworth deeds, the later descriptions misidentify Diseworth as Ickworth.
