At a recent auction here in Kent, I bought a lot that included a large
family bible published in 1872.
On the first page is hand written the following:
Won by Private John Arnfield
18th Derbyshire Whaley
Bridge Rifle Volunteers
with 17 points in 5 rounds
at 200 yards
at the annual prize shooting
1874
presented by Mrs E Hall
On subsequent pages details are given of John Arnfield's marriage and an
inscription giving the bible to his sister.
As this bible has a connection to Whaley Bridge is this something you would be interested in?
I am happy to give you further information if required.
