A study of Petre's public and domestic life, based on the Petre archives in the Essex Record Office has been published by Dr F. G. Emmison, formerly County Archivist, Tudor Secretary, William Petre at Court and Home (1961 (n.e.I97o)). Dr Emmison began a separate study of the Petre clothes from the account books, which were also drawn on by C. W. and P. Cunnington for their Handbook of English Costume in the Sixteenth Century, but he has now, most generously, offered his transcripts and analysis of relevant material to me for a paper on the subject.
