A 'necessaire' is a small ornamental case or etui for pencils, scissors, tweezers, and other small and useful items. They were often used by people on their travels. This case belonged to ‘M.Emett, Methodist Preacher’. He entered the Church in 1791 and was stationed in the Yarmouth Circuit in Norfolk.
