At their final meeting the proprietors resolved to deposit their archives in the Public Record Office [now The National Archives], and in 1884 minute books for the period 1726-1882 (excluding the volume 1738/39-1770) were deposited there together with a dividend book (1730-1755) (reference TNA 30/26/12-18).
