General Estate Accounts (D1610/A80)

All estates kept good accounts usually in bound volumes, showing summaries of receipts, expenses on garden and repair work, as well as house, stable and farm payments. Some kept separate household and estate accounts while others combined them. At the same time, some produced annual accounts in separate books while others had multiple years in the same volume. This is one such example of the General Estate Accounts from the Codrington Estate. It shows summaries of receipts, and expenses on garden and repair work, with briefer entries for house, stable and farm payments.
