Description
A purpose-made book with a pre-printed title, "Minute Book", bound in green. Typed papers have been pasted in or loosely inserted. The book has been over-filled and the spine has split.
"The First Minute Book of the Salisbury Cathedral Council, Formed vi-1970" handwritten on the front free end-paper.
The reverse of the front free end-paper records the names of the Secretaries of the Council for the relevant periods: Peter Iliffe, Jun 1970 - May 1976; Charles MacKechnie-Jarvis, May 1976 - Apr 1987. The later Minutes show that Catriona Galbraith accepted appointment as Secretary from Jun 1987.
An alphabetical index at the front of the volume has been used to create an (incomplete) index.
The first pasted-in typed sheet is headed "Salisbury Cathedral Council Constitution", stated to be "approved in Council on Monday, 28th February, 1972". A separate, loosely inserted undated typed sheet with the same main heading and some manuscript annotations appears to pre-date this and omits the seventh and last numbered clause.
Thereafter there is a series of Minutes, sometimes with related Agendas; lists of members of the Council; and some other related papers. Some of the early Minutes are faded carbon copies. Not all of the Minutes are signed.
