Title	Cash Account Book
Date	Jun 1846-Dec 1933
Description	At front: 'A list of benefit members, and the year of entrance' and 'Honorary Members', both lists appear to have been compiled in the late 1840s or early 1850s, and include details of members who joined as early as 1789. As both lists presumably relate to individuals who were still members at the time the list was compiled, and is not a complete list of all members since 1789. Each list includes some updates to at least 1862. The accounts themselves include monthly contributions as well as payments, so it ought to be possible to compile a more complete list of members during the period of the accounts. Also including a circular letter sent by DMUOOF to individual lodges, this letter having been received by No. 16 Prosperity Lodge, 1933 Sale Description, Ambra Books: Cash Book June 15th 1846 - December 30th 1933. Cash book, size 14" x 9", full parchment boards, front inner hinge broken, so front board and spine, although not detached, have come away from the spine. On the first two pages is a list of 70 members with year of entrance (going back to 1789). There is also a list of 22 Honorary Members. 290 pages. Each year's accounts signed by auditors. A few pages loose, parchment darkened, some tears in parchment on back board, back inner hinge partly broken. Neatly written throughout. Blanks at end. 1846-1933. Includes money paid out for funerals, provisions for the Feast 'One gallon of ale to Band at John Colledge's', 'Singers at Church', 'Ringers at Church', payments to hundreds of named people, presumably while they were sick, 'Surgeon half year's salary...' etc. Receipts include subscriptions, odd sums such as 'received from Bolehill Lodge for use of the Flag... 5s'.
