Audrey Interesting that it was 6d for the Easter Offerings there, I have only ever seen it as 2d anywhere else. Lyn B
Dear Lyn I'd have to check that one up. You're right - it does sound a lot. I'll do my homework a bit better and perhaps not get a D or F. I had 6d. in my mind's eye. I'll get back to you.

Hi Lyn It's a long time ago that I consulted our Easter Books and they have since moved residence. They used to be in Glossop Library about 20 minutes away. Now they're in Matlock an hour and three quarters distance where you have to book a visit in advance. No popping in to take a quick look. I thought that I might just have a note of it but as I was using them for another purpose at the time, I only recorded the stats necessary for my needs then, so I don't have any hard evidence. Next time I manage to go to Matlock, I'll take another look and pass on the info. I could do with having another look. It was around 25 years ago since I last saw them. However, even at 2d. per person, that could represent a fair amount of money over a large parish. Thanks for drawing it to my attention.
