As well as the digitised book, the CD Rom contains a digitised copy of the Dutton Family Tree, drawn up by P.H. Lawson F.S.A. in the 1950s. The Family Tree dates to beyond the Norman Invasion and shows the descended lines from Odard, Lord of Dutton up until the mid 1950s.

Also included on the CD Rom are photographs and an account of a Dutton Trip organised in June 2000 which visited several places of interest to Dutton Family researchers, notably Stoke Newington Preparatory School, East Grinstead, which is the site of the reconstructed Dutton Hall, so carefully dismantled and transported there by the Dewar Family (of Whisky fame) in the 1930s to be annexed with the Hunting Lodge of John OGaunt and renamed, Dutton Homestead.

Lastly, there are extracts from articles written in County Life Magazine, the Chester Chronicle and other newspapers telling of the History of the Dutton family.

This CD Rom is a must for Dutton researchers, as the book and Family Tree alone are a wealth of knowledge.
