‎Book of Common Prayer; Holy Bible; Psalms‎

‎Unpaginated, but just over 2.5 inches wide. This had a heavy leather binding with buckles (now worn off) . The front cover has come away from the book; it is inscribed by Ann Hill 'her book' on Jan 1 1801. and then has subsequent family marriages and births noted in it. The version of the book of common prayer dates from 1784, the bible from 1795 and the Psalms from 1797. Some more inked annotation within the book, including what appear to be the lyrics of a folk tune. One the cover can be faintly read the names of two church wardens, Wm Thomson and Jn Baker, presumably the recipients of this gift from Sr John Fenner (though how it then got to Ann Hill is another question). Contents are good bar a bit of wear to back pages where the straps would have pushed against them.‎
