WHAT’S NEWFriday 20 January 2012 I have spent several days over the last couple of weeks or so going through non-conformist records belonging to Tetbury churches. Last week was the Quakers or Society of Friends books and documents relating to the Nailsworth Monthly Meeting, and this week it was the Congregational Church or Independent church on The Chipping. Much of the information is repeated in every entry so lots of reading through to pick out potentially interesting pieces. Such as the sad death of Thomas Holborow in prison back in the C17th - he was arrested for ‘he knows not what’ an ancient man of 69. He died a few weeks later. His crime - a Quaker! Nathaniel Cripps is the Tetbury name of the period who was imprisoned a couple of times for not joining the militia or paying his tithes. How lucky we are to enjoy freedom of expression in all walks of life. Tuesday 3 January 2012 Happy New Year everyone. I hope that you all have had a thoroughly enjoyable Christmas and New Year and that you don’t feel too depressed now work and routine has begun again. Soon be Spring.....! updated information on Baptist Church and I am currently working on the Overbury family who of course had a great deal of influence on the Baptist Congregation in Tetbury. You can order any of my books from the Store page
