Based on the presence of stitching holes and the number "276" in the upper right hand corner, it appears this leaf was removed from a volume previously belonging to John Henry Gurney of Keswick Hall, Norfolk (see description in Historical Manuscripts Commission 12th report, appendix, pt. 9, p. 143)
