Scope and content
Letter from R.Stoddart 1870, glad that the College approves the exchange of glebe land on basis of Mr Bidwell's report, and a letter of 1880 with statement of income 1879 and 1880. Then correspondence 1889 between solicitors Partridge & Wilson of Bury St Edmunds, and the College's solicitors about the exchange of glebe lands, which was done informally, no deeds to be found. The file ends with a letter from the Bursar Hugh Shield to the solicitors wondering whether the advowson could be transferred to W.H. Smith, the First Lord of the Treasury, is doubtful if it could be done.
