Notes on Ingulf and the history of Croyland Abbey. In English and Latin, c. 1894, 232 folios. The volume concerns the continuations by various writers of the history of Crowland Abbey attributed to Ingulf. This is evidently the draft for Part II of Searle's Ingulf and the historia Croylandensis: an investigation (Cambridge, 1894), announced in the text (p. iv) as 'in preparation', but never published. The numbering of chapters and sections in the manuscript continues that of the published portion, but several of the later sections are blank, apart from a heading, and the work seems to have been abandoned unfinished. Many pages are blank.
