1885 Apr - Appeal for further donations for the restoration of Badsey Parish Church

Appeal for further donations for the restoration of Badsey Parish Church, April 1885, to be sent to the Vicar, the Rev T H Hunt, Badsey Vicarage, or the Treasurer, A H Savory, Esq, Aldington Manor.  £1250 already raised, but not sufficient to meet the first contract of £1575, to which much be added £200 to be spent on the belfry and in rehanging the fine peal of six bells, and upwards of £300 for re-seating the Church in oak.  These items, plus the architect's fees and other expenses, would bring the total sum required to at least £2300, so there was a shortfall of just over £1000.  Contains a list of 138 donations or subscriptions, ranging from 5 shillings to £500 (the latter was from Rev Hunt).
