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!

Book of receipts.
The receipts are mainly for cookery, but there are numerous medical and domestic receipts.
There are additions by other hands.
The mutilated leaf contains two copies of verses, headed on the verso 'Madam Roda [sic] Clifords [sic] song'. This lady was the seventh daughter of Sir Thomas Clifford, 1st Baron Clifford of Chudleigh [1630-1673]. On the first leaf is written 'Mrs. Mary Chantrell's Book of Receipts January the 16th 1690'. Below, in another hand, 'Mr William Hockenhull 1693'. Above these, in pencil, by a 19th cent. hand, 'James Darbyshire given him by Mrs Bear of Olchard'.
