Car Park Account, 1929-1956
Date
1929 -
Description
The car park account was started in 1929 although for the previous year, 1928, monies taken from the newly established car park were collected and recorded by Mr Messenger (see note in F1/17/1).
In 1929 the Bishop of Salisbury proposed the transfer of responsibility for the upkeep of the Close roads and other Close maintenance responsibilities from the Waywardens to the Dean and Chapter. The Dean and Chapter would fund the Close maintenance from the Car Park Account.
