Description | Index at front, pages numbered as folios. Records income and expenditure, giving dates, names and sums paid or received. Payments are often for goods (e.g. coals, spade shafts, fol.8, or 8 long poles to the mine fol.10), but also include e.g. expenses appointing a new constable, or for men when the militia was at Bakewell.
