Description
The bundle contains receipts for various payments, including: garments for choristers, work done at the grammar school; land tax; for the choir; tithes; salaries; and rents. There are several smaller bundles within the main bundle, as follows (separated by archival tape): items dated 1788-1789; items dated 1787-1788; 'Loose Choristers Vouchers on Accts passed [etc.]' dated 1782-1788; items dated 1786-1787 (including for repairs of the Choristers' house and work done at the Free School), which are enclosed within a letter to Mr Coombs from Robert Parry (Coombs was apparently Parry's apprentice); and 'Mr Parry's Papers about Choristers House' dated 1781-1786. At the bottom of the bundle there were also annual accounts of the Master of the Choristers; these have been removed and assigned to a separate sub-sub-series.
