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!

Collection of medical receipts, with a few cookery receipts: in English by several hands.
On p. 225 and p. 229 are marginal notes 'This I make Eliz. Okeover now Adderley', and some receipts, including most of the cookery receipts at the end of the volume, are endorsed 'E.O.' The main section, however, pp. 69-216, seems to have been written by an earlier owner in the last quarter of the 17th cent. There are also a few additions by early 18th cent. hands.
This manuscript and a related one (MS.7391) are discussed by Richard Aspin in "<a href="http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/pagerender.fcgi?tool=pmcentrez&artid=1044326&pageindex=1" rel="nofollow">Who was Elizabeth Okeover?</a>", Medical History, 2000, 44: 531-540.
