Diary of Rev Edward Stevens

St Stephen’s Day. Service at 9.15. Mr Cookes of Tadmarton Rectory kindly invited me to dine with him at 3 today and take Rosa – I declined as I had promised Harry I would walk over to Brailes if possible as I had not been there so long.

Harry and I walked over to Brailes – found that Mr and Mrs Smith and the girls had gone to skate on Mr Sheldon’s pond – we followed – on our return we staid to tea and walked home early.
