Notes

From Anne’s churching:

The service is taken from The Book of Common Prayer. It appears to be a copy of the 1552 version. My copy contains the letter that Queen Elizabeth, Henry and Anne’s daughter, wrote to the churches, and was published by Wm. Collins Sons & Co., Ltd. 144 Cathedral Street, Glasgow. There is no date of publication, but on the inside cover there is a delightful little inscription: “To Ethel, that the happiness and hopes of this day may always stay fresh in our hearts. Martin. May 29th, 1939.” The book was a precious gift from my London friend Paul Kercal, who is a fellow ginger-top and thoroughly British. God be with you and yours, Paul.
