This 4 page document is rather unusual. It covers the period 1841 to 1848 and seems to cover an annual competition held on a large estate. It is possibly Beeston Hall as it was with some other papers relating to this estate. The document is divided into columns with individuals names in the first two columns (the second column may be the name of a sponsor) and the name of the village in the next. It has a number written at the end which appears to relate to length of service. It then has a column for each year with a sum of money written in some of the columns (presumably the amount of prize money won). It is then sub-headed with Class. Under class 5 (Length of service) the first entry reads Benjamin Lee, Samuel Nash, Paston, 42, 1-0-0. Class 7 is for aged men. Edward Osborn is aged 76. Some names in this class have been crossed-out, presumably they died between 1841 and 1848. Other headings include: Ploughing Men, Ploughing Lads, Team Men, Labourers under 12, Domestic Married Men, Married Females, Single Men, Single Women. Class 18 is for growing Onions, Class 19 for Potatoes, Class 20 for Carrots and Class 21 for Parsnips. e.g. Edward Morris of Witton grew 33 lbs of Parsnips on 8 yds. An Extra prize was awarded to George Keeler - ??? Cooke of Stalham - Groom and Gardener - 10 years of 1-10-0. Places mentioned include: Paston, Westwick, Ingham, Tunstead, East Ruston, Tudham, Waxham, Irstead, Horning, Hickling, Catfield, Palling, etc. A fascinating document for anyone why may have had an ancestor working in this area.
