Custodial history

The part-books belonged formerly to W. Gostling, the owner of the Batten Organ Book (MS. Tenbury 791) and of other valuable collections; they passed later through the hands of Highmore Skeats, and of W. J. Porter in 1809. At that date Porter also owned the organ-books, and these belonged to Joseph Warren in 1864.
