TitleHousehold receipt book
DescriptionArranged alphabetically by trade (e.g. apothecary under A, brewers under B etc) with servants' wages entered either under the position (e.g. P for postilian, H for housemaid) or under the surname (Elizabeth Decoudre's wages are entered under D). Some entries clearly indicate payments to London tradesmen but there are also receipts for painting and plastering at Kimbolton Castle.

Each entry takes the form of a receipt signed by the recipient. Payments made by the Duke and Duchess of Manchester.

Seveal loose items now stored in a folder, mostly comprising unsigned notes and jottings on historical rebellions, conspiracies and treasons. Possibly dating from before this volume [44 items].
