Interesting Parcel

I have just taken delivery of a very precious parcel, kindly sent to me by the family of Derrick Holmes, now living down in Devon. Derrick has had a life long interest in Beddome and the Bourton on the Water church and wrote a many years ago called The Early Years (1655–1740) of Bourton-on-the-Water Dissenters who later constituted the Baptist Church, with special reference to the Ministry of the Reverend Benjamin Beddome A.M. 1740–1795. Sadly, Derrick is now in a home and suffers dementia. There are five books in all. I will describe them in a later blog.
