Description: Scope/Content: 18th century manuscript cookery and medical remedy book, composed by Bridget Lane of Worcestershire. The majority of receipts are written in one uniform hand (presumably Bridget Lane's) and some include her endorsements and account of persons successfully treated by application of particular remedies. Several recipes discuss the specific locations where herbs may be found or local personages, which seem to fix the volume's composition in the area of Tenbury Wells. The volume begins with an alphabetical table of contents, but additional receipts (seemingly in a different hand) have been written on the blank portions of these pages.
