Diary of Rev Edward Stevens

Mary Lively said she thought I did not look very well – I looked “very bleak” in church last Sunday. I never heard this old word used in its original sense before.

The Misses Lamb (Quakers) called this afternoon and gave me £1 towards the warming apparatus of the church on the ground that some of their tenants were church people.

Mr. Worsdell, B.A. a friend of Mr. Oddie’s who was in Egypt a year or two ago – gave a lecture in school room on “Egypt and the Egyptians” illustrated with dissolving views. Mr. Oddie manipulated the lanterns. There was a good audience and a proportion of the profits were given to Mr. Woolgrove for the Church warming apparatus.
