In 1724, Mme. de la Barre who died in Paris in that year made sundry bequests from her property and effects in Great Britain. These included one of £1,000 to the French Hospital, and another for £2,000 for the support of the ministry of a French church chosen at the discretion of her executor and cousin-german, M. Pierre de Tascher, Ministre. The ministry appointed was the joint ministry of Castle Street and Berwick Street. Joint consistories appear to have been held sometimes in Castle Street and sometimes in Berwick Street. From an entry under 23 August 1733 it would appear that this manuscript was the record of meeting held in Berwick Street and much of the business appears relevant to the administration of the de la Barre legacy. Similarly HUGUENOT LIBRARY/J/12 appear to have been intended initially to record meeting of the join consistory in Castle Street, and much of the business up to, and after 1762 is relevant to the same legacy. 1726-1752
