Extracts taken from the Hunmanby Parish Magazine of the 1890's
INTRODUCTION TO INTERESTING SNIPPETS FROM HUNMANBY PARISH MAGAZINES 1890-1962
The collection of books from which these extracts were taken, were rescued as they were about to be consigned to a bonfire,
by Mr. Peter Harrison, who lives and works locally.
They contain a fascinating insight into local life during the above period, including the two great wars.
It is intended to regularly publish mw extracts over the coming months.
Any comments would be welcome
Penny Readings
Another of these entertainments was given on Tuesday evening in the National schoolroom, attracting a good audience.
There was a varied programme, including songs by Mrs. Heard, the Rev. A. H. Griffith, rector of Lockington and the Rev. J. F. Brown, vicar of Muston; solos on the pianoforte by Mr. Fletcher Lee, and the cornet by Mr. W. Raylor; readings, glees etc. Two capitol comic songs were sung b Mr. Heenry WWoodcock, and great merriment was caused by the trio little farm well tilled sung by the Revs. J. F. Brown, A. H. Griffith and E. Mitford. It was evident that an amusing and pleasant evening was passed by all present.
The next Penny readings was announced to take place onJanuary 24th 1890.
The distribution of coal in accordance with the bequest of the late Admiral Mitfordj, has been made during this month.
