Walcott, History of the parish church of St Margaret (1847), p. 14, where he explains that normally the standard weights were entrusted to the local MP, but as Westminster had no MP at this time, it was up to the local citizens, who placed them in the vestry of St Margaret's, their parish church." -- buyer's agent Ordered from Forum Auction no. 33 (12 July 2018), D 9221, 06-22-2018
