This volume is made up from the Bedfordshire Architectural and Archaeological Society's reports and papers from what was originally intended to be volumes containing the reports and papers of multiple societies including, for example, Worcester Diocesan Architectural Society and St Albans Archaeological and Architectural Society, Louth Society (pages from these societies appear on the reverse of the end or beginning of the Bedfordshire reports and papers). The title under which the complete publication was issued is not known. The reports are numbered with Roman numerals and the papers with Arabic numbers. When the volumes of just Bedfordshire papers were put together, in the late 19th or possibly early 20th century, the pages were over stamped with a single sequence of numbers across three volumes from 1-970. This volume is pages 258-530. Papers are: - An Account of the Life and Labours of Dr. S.E. Castell, formerly Rector of Higham Gobion by John Mendham, 1858.
