Previous owners:

• J. Wayland and Mary Stanley are unidentified.
• Anna Knollys could be either Anne West, Lady De La Warr (née Knollys) (1555–1608); or Anne Knollys, daughter of Sir Francis Knollys the younger
• Thomas Stockett (b. 1635, Bekesbourne, d. 1671, Maryland); or his father of the same name
• Charles Elstob, rector of Tillington, Sussex, and prebendary of Canterbury, 1685 to 1721; Stall VIII.
• The book later came into the possession of Stephen Hunt and presumably passed to the Cathedral as part of his bequest of 1714.
