Many of the records in this collection were originally deposited at the Bodleian Library by the priest in charge of Shiplake in 1976. Overseers' account books PAR234/5/F1/3-5 were deposited by the vicar in 1957. The rest of the material was deposited at Oxfordshire Record Office: the tithe and enclosure awards by Shiplake Parish Council in March 1985 (accession 2384), and the remaining registers and minutes in April 1998 (accession 4343), December 1998 (accession 4426), and August 2006 (accession 5565). A conspectus of old and new references is included at the end of the catalogue.
