Provenance

Inscription, in ink, at head of page 1: "Miss Corfe with kind regards from WHP." "WHP" is William Henley Pearson; he was born in 1813, a son of sometime Dean of Salisbury, Hugh Pearson (Dean from 1823 until 1846); in 1848 he married Martha Jervis. As from 22nd May, 1865, he and his wife took the surname Jervis, by Royal licence, in compliance with a proviso contained in the last will and testament of Admiral of the Fleet John Jervis, Earl of St. Vincent (see: The London Gazette, May 30, 1865, pages 2806-2807). As William Henley Jervis, William Henley Pearson died on 27th January, 1883, aged 69. For Miss Corfe, see note below.

Provenance

Provenance

Bequeathed to the Archives of St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle by Brigadier Tim Hackworth, military knight of Windsor and a direct descendant of Joseph Corfe (1740-1820) and Arthur Thomas Corfe (1773-1863); subsequently donated by the Archives of St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle to Salisbury Cathedral Library, with the agreement of the family of the late Brigadier Hackworth.

Provenance

Salisbury Cathedral Library bookplate (20th century, reprinted 2019) with design based on the Dean and Chapter seal, and inscription “Sarvm Cathedral Library.”

Binding
