The College's Foundation Charter of 1542 laid down that Lord Audley and his heirs should write the statutes to cover the governance of the College. Lord Audley died in 1544 and as nothing had been achieved he wrote in his will that his executors should draw up the statutes. His executors were Lady Elizabeth Audley, Edward Lord North, Sir Thomas Pope, Thomas Barber, and Edmund Martyn and they delivered the statutes on 10 February 1555.

In 1565 the foundation statutes were corrected and additions made. This was done on the original statutes rather than on a separate clean document. They were sent to the Master and Fellows by the then Visitor, Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk on 24 January 1565.

The 1565 Latin statutes were not superseded until a new set was written in 1860. Since then there have been revisions in 1882, 1926, 1957 and 1997.

The earliest University statutes were probably devised piece-meal, but complete bodies of statutes were imposed on the University from the time of Edward VI. The most durable were those given by Queen Elizabeth in 1570, which remained in force until the 1850s. From the 16th century any statute drawn up by the University itself has been subject to confirmation or enforcement by the crown. The precise manner in which the statutes are to be observed was anciently laid down in a series of interpretations by the Vice-Chancellor and Heads of Houses; since the mid 19th century it has been embodied in printed ordinances.

From 1781 to 1971 there was a series of Order Books which contained a record of the 'Order' of the Governing Body. They were written during the Governing Body Meetings and signed by the Fellows at the end of the meeting.
From 1911 onwards a separate series of Minute Books was kept to record discussions and decisions of the Governing Body.

At a meeting on 18 February 1971 the Governing Body agreed that extracts from the Minutes would no longer be pasted into the Order Books. They were then used to record the appointment of Fellows, Honorary Fellows, Masters, and Scholars.

For the previous Order Book containing appointments from 1971-1979 see MCGB/4/2/3.

Offprints and articles concerning Pepys and the Pepys Library. Known formerly as the "Pepys Library Files".

Offprints and articles concerning Pepys and the Pepys Library bound into albums. Formerly known as the 'Miscellaneous Pamphlets' volumes.

25 and 26 Bridge Street were formerly known as 'The Barley Mow'. They were bought by Magdalene College in 1983.

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.

Volumes 1-4 look the same and are arranged in the same way with the names and amount owed being listed under the type of drink. Volumes 5-11 look different and are set out inside in a different way (in a table) although they contain the same information.

Butler

The Butler's name has been written in the front of some of the Buttery Books. This gives us a partial list of the names of the Butlers although we don't have exact dates. The College Order Book (MCGB4/2/1) also provides more information.

[1] At a meeting of the Master and Fellows on 7 March 1799 [MCGB/4/2/1] it was reported that the College had been defrauded to a very considerable amount by the late Butler, Edward Mills. They resolved to use all legal means to recover the amount of that fraud.

[2] In 1901 the cook William Swannell died and the College resumed control of the kitchen and Buttery. A.S. Ramsey was appointed Steward and Jack French was Butler and Kitchen Manager.

Prior to 1781 the Registers contained a record of more or less everything in College, including Governing Body decisions.

Post 1781 see MCGB/4/2 - Order Books.

In 1781, on being appointed Master, Dr Peckard decided that better record keeping was needed and began the Order Book to record decisions. Until 1971 it was used for Governing Body 'Orders', that is instructions for immediate action.

In 1911 a separate Minute Book was established for discussions etc. probably at the suggestion of A. C. Benson.

From 1911 the entries in the Order Book (the instructions to College Officers and staff for immediate implementation) were written in the book as the meeting proceeded by the Junior Fellow. This was then read over at the end of the meeting for checking, all Fellows present signing finally in order of seniority.

After the meeting the next most Junior Fellow then wrote the Minutes in the Minute Book, taking his time and consulting the Master as necessary.

On 1 Nov 1962, the formal decision was made that in future the Bursar would keep the Minutes.

Typed Orders continued to be pasted in the Order Book until 1971. Since then the Order Book has been used to record the most formal business such as the admittance of Fellows, Honorary Fellows, Masters, and Scholars. Signatures were usually required.
