Account of Chapter Meetings in 1619

1619

1 sheet

The main body of text is an account of a Chapter meeting on 07 [Dec] 1619 at the house of Dr [William] Tooker in the presence of Dr Tooker, Mr [Giles] Thornburgh [Thornborough], Dr [John] Barnston, Dr [Henry] Seward and Dr [Walter] Curle locum tenens of the Dean. It is difficult to read; uncertainties will be indicated with square brackets. John Johnson appeared and presented to them accounts [?received] by John Gordon recently Dean of Salisbury [for the] Fabric [from the] fifth part of prebends. He also showed a 'libellu[m]'. The following section states that Genevera Gordon appeared [Geneviève Petau de Maulette, John Gordon's second wife] for the execution of his testament. Next there is something about Robert Pinckney [Pinkeney] prebendary of Bemister [Beminster] Prima and Benjamin Russell prebendary of Stratford being cited for the payment of a stipend. The bottom right corner of the document is missing, obscuring some of the following text, which relates to Dr Curle. The final section is the start of an account of a Chapter meeting on 31 Jan 1619 - it appears to continue onto the back but the rest has been crossed out.
