Byron Family: Personal Records and Ephemera

This Series has much miscellaneous material. The most substantive set of documentation concerns Edmund Byron’s years as a pupil at Eton College in the 1880s. This set includes Eton calendars, Eton College lists and a large number of Eton termly bills, which list school fees and Edmund’s personal expenditure as a boarder at the school, and some correspondence between the school and parents.

Other items include family photographs, documents on the building of Coulsdon Court, some books, a fine testimonial to Edmund on the occasion of his 21st birthday presented by the domestic staff, and other items of a similarly personal nature, such as hair cuttings. There are items concerning the building of the Welshpool and Llanfair Light Railway: Eric Byron was a railway engineer and surveyor and he worked on the construction of this line. There is a copy of the Calgary Land District Map, 1907, identifying the land held by Thomas and Cecil Byron in Canada.

Byron Family: Leases and Deeds

This Series covers a substantial volume of documents detailing the arrangements for letting the components of the Byron estate, all of which were owned freehold by the family.
