The first three volumes were expertly edited by William Farrer (18611924), after whose death Charles Travis Clay (18851978) took up the task. The series was well respected for the quality of Farrer's editing, which was only surpassed by that of Clay in the later volumes.

The Tison Fee comprised land in the East Riding, Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, and Clay has included texts relating to other lands held by the family.
