Morshead was Librarian and Assistant Keeper of the Royal Archives at Windsor Castle from 1926. The Dorset Historic Churches Trust reports, "His stewardship of the job was driven by a desire to make as much as possible of the huge archive available to scholars and, most importantly, to the general public. Apart from cataloguing drawings from the Royal collection, he put examples on show to the public. He became a real friend to King George V and Queen Mary who he accompanied on visits to country houses and antique shops. He published several books and contributed articles on King George V and Lord Stamfordham in the Dictionary of National Biography. " Moreshead begins his book: "The Civil War provided the last occasion on which the castles of England were put to a military purpose, " and proceeds to describe the context, the prisoners, and their activities, quoting from contemporary documents.;
