Scope and content
Letter from the Rector to the Bursar, asking permission to use money held by Queen Anne's Bounty - the balance of insurance money for a fire in 1893 - for different purposes, viz. improving the land and farm buildings. There is a formal letter from his Agents, a specification and three plans of the changes he is suggesting. Some fields have been cleard of brambles at his own expense, and are now available for sheep; two fields are full of enormous thorn bushes and brambles and are let to the M.F.H. [Master of Fox Hounds] for sporting purposes. The file concludes with a Faculty of 1908 authorizing the change in expenditure.
