Records of Michael Gibbon, innkeeper of Holborn, comprising three account books showing that as well as managing the inn and busy livery stable - sending horses to grass on 'the Marshes' - Gibbons undertook varied purchases and commissions for his customers, many of whom were from Gray's Inn across the road, and also from other Inns of Court. One of his customers Denzil Suckling, a member of the Middle Temple, appears to have acted as trustee for a young girl, Sophia Bright; Gibbons' accounts include payment for her schooling, clothing and medical care.
