Background: | The Wykeham-Martin manuscripts in the County Hall, Maidstone, Kent, England, were once part of a much larger collection of family papers until a portion of the collection was sold in recent years. While the title given to the Papers contains the names of only two families, Wykeham and Martin, the collection also includes Culpeper/Colepeper and Fairfax family manuscripts. The four families were connected by marriage, and other family relationships, through the three centuries that are repesented in the microfilm edition of the Papers. |

They have been arranged by families and those that relate of the Culpeper, Fairfax, and Martin families have been sorted to the item level description and arranged by recipient.
