While the volume is written in English, the style of handwriting, known as secretary hand, is one that very few people can now read. You will see underneath the digitised files of the minute book below, that a transcription of the text has also been provided. The entire volume was meticulously transcribed for the County Archives by local historian Therese Hicks. Local historian John Finlay kindly assisted with proof reading the text. See also a brief essay exploring some of the salient themes of these minutes, and notes on interpreting them.
