Custodial History
The volume probably belonged to the choir of Peterborough Cathedral and was bought by Dr White Kennett, Bishop of Peterborough, from 'Mr John Brown one of the lay clerks' in 1725. Purcell was dead at the time that this MS. was compiled (see p. 71), but Blow was still living (fol. 127v).
