This was Part I, but no further parts were published. A compilation of early charters and grants, from 732 to 1257, relating to Hythe and Saltwood. At this period the borough of Hythe was part of the manor of Saltwood. The charters are given in full in Latin, including a list of the signatories, followed by an English translation. Other documents include the Domesday entries for the manors of Lyminge and Saltwood and the Right to Wreck. A scarce item; COPAC lists only three copies, all held in London, The Guildhall Library, the Society of Antiquaries and Lambeth Palace. The Kent Bibliography indicates a copy held by Folkestone Public Library.
