Our galleries are quietest on weekdays and weekend mornings. At busy times, particularly on Saturdays, you may need to queue for our temporary exhibitions.

We’re undertaking some research with website visitors to learn more about how people find access-related information provided by museums. This survey shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to complete. Thank you for your time!

Physicall and chyrurgicall receipts. Cookery and preserves.
The upper and lower covers are lettered 'Physick' and 'Cookery' respectively.
Signature of 'Elizabeth Jacob' twice on the fourth leaf, and 'Eliz. Jacob 1654' on the fifth leaf. Though the beginnings of both sections are written by Elizabeth Jacob, there are many additions by other and later hands, especially by the writer of a neat upright script, which can perhaps be dated c. 1685.
