Version1: Page 1 "The article on the attached sheets has been approved by the competent authority for the Archdiocese of Liverpool. It was intended as an appendix to an historical treatise dealing with the privations endured by the "Red Letter Men" of the Ribble valley in the 16th and 17th centuries. Unhappily, before this was completed the author died and it was never printed. The "appendix" however, was published in the Diocesan Journal the "Cathedral Record". Pages 2-5: typescript; single-sided.
Version2: 7 pages, blue feint lining; typescript with manuscript annotations in pencil. Final page has "Excellent. But (1), Solemn Mass is the house of worship & should be understood & appreciated & joined in by the people - very much depends on this. (2). And the truth [underlined], doctrinal & spiritual, of the prayers of the [?] needs emphasising. (3). We need to enter into the "universal" [underlined] note of the church & not be Lancashire or Sunney or French or English mainly."
Version3: As for version1 - 8 pages; line numbers at LHS 560 to 742; some ink manuscript annotations; final annotation: "Approx. 10,380 words on 22 sheets. Charles H Thomson, 33 Oxford Drive, Liverpool 22"
Version 4: As for version 1 (no first page; "Lancashire men" crossed out and replaced with "Englishmen"; similar amendments to widen the scope from "Ribble valley" focus. [Perhaps this is the version that was published in the "Cathedral Record"?].
Version 5: as for version 1 - few annotations.

From Introduction
"1.1 In April 2021 Archaeological Solutions Ltd was commissioned to conduct historic building recording of St Francis of Assisi Church, Ermine Street, Papworth Everard, Cambridgeshire, CB23 3RR (NGR TL 28443 63120; Figs. 1 & 2). The recording was required to fulfil a condition of planning consent to demolish the building (South Cambridgeshire District Council Planning Ref. S/4270/19/VC). However, prior to carrying out the survey, the building was demolished. Consequently, this project comprises the production of a retrospective historic building recording report created from historic sources and photographs provided by the client. A separate phase of working conducted comprised a trial trench evaluation, which is the subject of a separate report by AS (Bingham and Podbury 2021)."

Dear Friends, I an honoured and deeply grateful for having been invited to make this contribution to the "Church in Aldeburgh" on behalf of the Roman Catholic population. A feature of my stay in Aldeburgh apart from having many rather wonderful parishioners, is the kindness and friendliness of so many members of other churches, and a truly ecumenical situation.
We clergy too, enjoy a relationship proper to brothers in Christ. And now a few details of the Roman Catholic parish of Our Lady & St. Peter. It covers over 100 square miles and includes, Leiston, Saxmundham, Thorpness, Sizewell, Snape (part) and Yoxford. The parish was established in 1906. No doubt at that time Mass would be celebrated in private houses. Later the Oblate nuns established a convent school here in Suffolk House with a public chapel and later they were replaced by Sisters of Mercy at Eton House. According to our records in 1906 there were 24 Catholics and Sunday Mass attendance was 12. In 1914 it was 63 plus 42 Belgian refugees. In 1917 46 and 53 soldiers. At this time the Sunday collection averaged 9s 9d in Aldeburgh and l3s 5d in Leiston. The priest must have had a slender diet.
In 1924 the foundation stone of the present church on the Terrace was laid. The contract price was £2,298 - cash in hand £1,200. The first Mass was celebrated in the church in 1925.
In 1930 owing to seemingly incurable dampness, the altar was moved to the opposite end of the church. Towards the end of the war a bomb was dropped near the church blasting the presbytery and making a good excuse for the church tower to be demolished, as unsafe, Two extra bays were built and a side chapel opened in 1955; cost £4,000. Leiston has its own church All Saints, Seaward Avenue and a thriving community. It was built just over 25 years ago. Last year we celebrated the 25th anniversary of the laying of the foundation stone. A very welcome guest was Father Mcarten. He was chaplain to a very large number of Irish Catholics employed in building Sizewell A. He mustered a large contingent to help in building the church.
"A 100-year-old time capsule, discovered under the pulpit of Sacred Heart Church in Southwold during renovations, has been reburied alongside an identical set of current-day items." Story continues
