There are approximately 1100 sketches, with captions listing the name and location of the church, as well as the date of the sketch. Each volume includes an index, and volume two contains insertions consisting of correspondence and notes. The volumes were removed from their bindings for preservation purposes in 2008, and the original boards and spine (volume two), including the bookplate of R. Nash Bricknell, were retained. The collection also includes postcards depicting churches in England.
