Description

Between 1948 and 1982 the Reverend Oliver Willmott wrote three quarters of a million words chronicling the life of his three parishes in West Dorset – Loders, Dottery and Askerwell.  This book provides nuggets from just the first five years of his pastoral observations.

Reverend Willmott’s Parish Notes noted everything from the fall of a jackdaw’s nest to the enthronement of an Archbishop.  He noted matters to do with the pub, the parish, the farm and the kitchen sink (although he admitted he wasn’t an expert on the latter).

211 pages.  Soft covers.
