Black-edged paper. Dawson Turner has added at the top in ink, ‘1833’, and in pencil, ‘B?’, the significance of which is unclear. The letters missing from one word abbreviated by a superscript letter have been supplied in square brackets.
{1} The vicar of Gorleston from 1832 to 1841 was William Gunn, the father-in-law of Dawson Turner’s daughter Harriet. Members of the Astley family had been patrons of the living since the 18th century. Gunn had been presented by Lucy Browne (née Astley), the widow of Thomas Browne, the previous incumbent, formerly Master of Christ’s College, Cambridge.
