Together with MSS 349-353 & 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 1847-1852 , but contains evidence of the reuse of an earlier account book from 1746. Purchased using the Leishman fund in 1981 (Colvin's supplement to Coxe).
