The book, presented in 1897 to its public after a lapse of nearly 300 years is the genealogical common-place book of Tristram Risdon Esq, author of the famous Chorographical Description or Survey of the County of Devon. The original is in MS form and held in the Cathedral Library at Exeter. This section of Risdon's Note Book covers the period from Edward III to Charles I and is the fourth section of the note book. The armorial blazons in this section follow the pattern of those in the General Armory, with the arms tricked and unfortunately with several exceptions, un-tinctured.
