| Description | Titles on cover: 'Registre de la Diaconye 1646', 'Renouvellé 1685' (foliated ff 1-100).
ff 1-29: 'Le livre de compte des diacres' (Deacons' accounts), October 1646-September 1660. Receipts and disbursements alternately on the same pages. These accounts are analysed in G H Overend, 'Strangers at Dover', Huguenot Society Proceedings, vol. III, pp 286-330. The Appendix gives in full a large number of the entries from the accounts, including all those recording relief given to travellers passing through Dover.
ff 30-85: Deacons' accounts (of the fourth church), August 1685-December 1731. Receipts and disbursements on alternate pages. From 1701 the accounts are kept, on a somewhat different system, by Isaac Minet, an elder. On f 85r, he records that the church had been closed from Midsummer 1731, for want of persons to support it.
The rest of the book is blank, except that at the end Isaac Minet has written a short history of the foreign churches at Dover from 1642 to 1731. |
