Title
The Huntroyd Receipts. Folio 2
Subject
The folio of recipes and medicines of the Starkie Family of Huntroyd House and Blackburn Rectory.
Description
This collection contains more medicines than food recipes. It was stitched together with cotton to form a binding of some sort.
The two other folios are somewhat separate but form a whole with being kept together. It is difficult to tell which is the front cover or the rear one.
The owner has decided to call "Gravy Soup" as the front page because it is cleaner and "Rheumatism", the rear one, because it has a stain that suggests it was laid down on something wet.
The page edges are cleaner where they may have been exposed. That seems a good reason enough.
With the 28 leaves in the folio, half way through it was turned upside down and started to be written from the other end.
We have taken a great delight in dealing with this folio and addressing contemporary medical thinking. In many ways, with knowledge behind it, quite alarming.
We will begin with gravy and end up with rheumatism, so enjoy the journey.
