In MACD/14/3/3/3 the accounts are signed and sometimes 'Steward is written after the signature as follows - John Fortescue 1818-1820 (name appears earlier but without 'Steward'). John Lodge 1821-1828 (after 1829 he is listed as President but he could still have been Steward); G. Urquart 1834-1837 (possibly from 1834 and possibly later)

In 1901 when the cook William Swannell retired Ramsey resumed control of the Kitchens - the last Cambridge College to do so. Previously the Kitchen and Buttery were in effect 'privatised' being managed by a Cook (also referred to as the caterer) and Butler who owned much of the equipment and were entitled to take all the profits. This was an immediate success and in the first year the Kitchen Account shows a £200 profit. By 1912 the profit was £1200.
