Description
The bundle contains receipts for various payments, including: land tax; tithes; work at the school; salaries; making garments for choristers; rents; for the choir; augmentation of the vicarage of Preshute; and repairs at Tilshead Farm. There is an [original] note which states, 'Choristers Vouchers for the yeares 1782-83-84-85 and 1786.' There are several smaller bundles within the main bundle, which seem to be arranged more or less by date (separated by archival envelopes): 1781-1782; 1782-1784 (including several indentures of apprenticeship); 1783-1784 (including an indenture of apprenticeship; one of the receipts is on the back of a playbill for Salisbury Theatre); 1784-1786 (including several indentures of apprenticeship); and 1785-1787 (including several indentures of apprenticeship).
