There are a total of 6,362 entries on the Pitt Rivers Museums collections management database for English items that were purchased from 1884. Note that only items for which there is a recorded price are mentioned in this section, each year has more purchases of English objects but the list is too long to provide.

The table has been divided into three parts:

Part I 1884-1899

Part II 1900-1910

Part III 1911-1943

The first two sections are the largest, suggesting that more data was recorded about costs etc before 1910 than after. The last year for which purchase prices were recorded appears to be 1943 which is why the tables end there.
