Buttery Books were kept by the Butler and recorded the weekly totals spent by each member of College on sizings (food bought from the buttery in addition to their commons). The volumes list the members of College in order of seniority followed by a total amount spent. This amount was then entered into the Steward's Books [see MCAD/14/1/1/1-122] under the heading 'But'.
At the bottom of each page are totals for:
pane, potu, incre, poore and prom and a separate entry for gate fines.
From the volume which starts in 1730 [MCAD/14/2/1/17 1730-1736] there is a separate entry for Gate Fines at the bottom of each page.
From the volume which starts in 1798 [MCAD/14/2/1/30 1798-1803] additional entries are made at the bottom of the pages for items including gardeners, poundage on beer, rats, carpenters, workmen, glaziers, whitesmith, laundress, bread and beer on Christmas Day and Whit Sunday, bricklayers, and painters.
