The series contains 279 sermons by four members of the Southcomb family. Most of the sermons contain notes as to when and where they were preached (some up to eight or ten times and by two or three different preachers), the amount collected in offertory, and their duration. Although John Southcomb was never rector at Rose Ash, his 137 sermons make up nearly half of the entire collection. Both his and Edmund's sermons are mostly devotional, and mostly unsigned.
