Amalgamated Clubs

The Amalgamation Club was formed in October 1884 as a way to introduce a new system for managing the finances of the College Clubs. Up until this date each separate club had been responsible for collecting its own subs and managing its expenses. However, by October 1884 all Clubs, with the exception of the Football Club, was in debt. On 23 October 1884, a general meeting was held, and a provisional Committee, with Mr Gray (Treasurer of the Boat Club) as its chairman was set up. The committee drew up a report containing a framework of rules which was unanimously agreed to at another general meeting held on 11 November 1884.

Cambridge, All Saints

The advowson of All Saints (also called All Saints in the Jewry) was given to the nunnery of St Radegund, in 1180 or earlier, by Sturmi of Cambridge. For this and other early deeds, see Nuns/Gray 79-99. The church was very croded by the 1850s, and was demolished in favour of a new one in Jesus Lane. A draft history of the parish by A.C. Bouquet is kept in the Old Library, in the modern MSS collection.

College Account receipts (audit vouchers)

The information contained within these receipts, vouchers, invoices, bills and related correspondence, provides a unique source of detailed information relating to the goods and services provided to Jesus College and its estates by people in Cambridge and neighbouring counties over nearly 200 years.

Originally, the contents of each bundle was used to compile the annual College accounts for the corresponding year. Entries in the College Accounts are highly summarised and contain almost none of the same detail as listed in the vouchers. Some suppliers of goods and services waited several years before submitting their invoice for payment and as such, goods and services detailed in some vouchers date from up to five years before the year of accounts in which they were included. A few date to the following year.

The catalogue entries for individual vouchers are not full transcriptions and are designed to give researchers an indication of the type of information they can expect to find in a particular voucher. As such, it was decided that references to goods and services and any other information would be listed when it is first mentioned. However, individual costs and multiple entries for the same good or service within the same voucher is not included. The total for all goods and services listed in a voucher is listed where it exists. For further information on costs of individual goods and services and to specific quantities of goods mentioned, researchers should contact the Archivist.
