Scope and content
John Williams lord keeper and Bishop of Lincoln. Land granted to Bishop Williams by King James I in December 1623, then transferred to St John's. The manuscript also records the Bishop’s donation of £160 with which the College was to buy land to the value of at least £7 and no more than £8 a year, making a total income of £62. This fund was often used, for example to ‘buy land in Suffolk' (unidentified) and ‘for the use of the Chapel’ in 1637, but always replenished from other stock, so that on 18 April 1642 there was a total of £159.12s.4d., nearly the whole amount. On 29 June 1642, however, £150 was taken from it and lent to the King.
