C & J Greenwood Surrey Described (1823)
To accompany their map of Surrey, the Greenwoods published this Topographical Dictionary of the County. However, they arranged the entries alphabetically by the name of each property, rather than grouping them together by parish.
Charters and cartularies
There are several original charters relating to properties granted to or by Westminster Abbey, some still bearing the seals of the parties involved. Many charters and other agreements were copied into the Abbey’s cartularies. The cartulary known as the Westminster Domesday (WD) has copies of several documents relating to Morden. As some of the original documents have been damaged by damp, and others have been lost, the cartularies are of great value to the researcher.
