Scope and content
The arrangement of the accounts follows the pattern of those in ACC 1/2. At the foot of the account for 1644 is a statement explaining a deficit made up by a payment from the dividends of the Master and Fellows. In 1651 Arabic numerals were used throughout the account for the first time. At the end of the book are accounts for: Dr Sherman's benefaction for paving the Chapel with black and white marble, £100; Mr Charles Gibson's for adorning the Chapel, £100; additional new seats in the Chapel, and painting them; paving the outer Chapel with freestone, and setting up seats at the West end; London rents with the names of tenants, 1686; charges about Mr Somervile's legacy to the College decreed by the Court of Chancery; receipts from Loughborough, 1695, and Hundon, 1691-2; Mr Somervile's Act.
