Hoskins, W. G, Old Devon(1966), "The greatest disaster in the world of English archives in recent times was the destruction of the probate registry in Exeter in World War 11. In one night in May 1942 the entire contents of the registry in Bedford Circus perish for ever : probably a hundred thousand wills and perhaps half that number of inventories & only a small fraction has ever been copied".
