Together with MSS 349 & 351-355 this forms a set of six 19th century account books, and a bank pass book, belonging to Henry Handley Norris (1771-1850, Church of England clergyman and leader of the High Church faction known as the Hackney Phalanx). This volume covers the years 1821-1823, but contains evidence of the reuse of one of his father's (or grandfather's) account books from the 1760s. Purchased using the Leishman fund in 1981 (Colvin's supplement to Coxe).
