Historical Details
During the 1980s, parishioners and others were invited to donate the cost of new hymn books, service books and bibles, on the basis that they could have an inscription inside the cover as a memorial to a departed loved one, or as a gift for various reasons. It is unlikely that all the donations and inscriptions of this publication have been recorded, but many are listed in the linked pdf file.Materials
