Day Book and Subscription Book

c.300 pp; 24 cm x 20 cm; Bound volume; Manuscript

Day Book, giving dates of receipt of goods, the names of persons or firms supplying goods, and other particulars relating to the Capuchin community, Church Street, from 1906-1949. The opening nine pages contains: ‘Accounts of subscriptions and receipts from drawing of prizes for gallery and decoration of Church’. This comprises a list of benefactors (with the sums subscribed) for the aforementioned fund, 14 May 1906-25 Jan. 1907. The total money received, presumably from the drawing of prizes, was £1,005 8s 10d. The day-book accounts run from 3 Sept. 1907-July 1949 and contain entries for routine daily expenses incurred by members of the community. Many of the entries are signed, probably by the Friary Guardian or Provincial Minister.

The top of the spine is torn, and the text block is exposed. There are a few loose pages in the volume.
