Scope and content

This ledger was kept by the Head of House and gives details of new boys and boys who had left each year, sporting results and accounts of matches, comments on the characters of boys after they left the House, names of those who received colours, notes on music competitions, details of tannings, names of Head of House and monitors and any other events which the Heads thought interesting to record. Some entries include summaries of the previous term. Not all Heads of House contributed to the ledger each year. At the front of the volume are details of Head of House, Monitors, House Masters and those who gained pinks. There is also a list of Heads of Ashburnham House on the first page and at the back of the volume. Inserted by a researcher are markers throughout the book as well as some loose pages which contain notes on the volume.
