List of Cottagers to whom Beef and Plum Puddings are given. Christmas 1871 (D1610/E146)
This document is an accompanying one to the previous image. As well as inviting cottagers to a Christmas dinner, the Dodington Estate also gave out to other cottagers a Christmas food donation, typically a quantity of beef (2-6lbs) and a plum pudding. In 1872, this amounted to 48 lbs of beef and 19 plum puddings!
