Alington, William Herbert, 1841-1938 :St James' Parsonage, Gloucester. April 20/71
- Date
- 1871
- Reference
- E-932-027/028
- Description
Shows a view of St James Church, Gloucester, with the parsonage to the right of it. The view is taken from a field behind the two buildings. A horse can be seen in the foreground. Other buildings, probably belonging to the town, can be seen in the distance between the church and the parsonage.
It is likely, given the handwriting of the inscription, that the note 'Thought you folks would like this...' was written by Charlotte Mabel for her cousins Winifred Louie (the 'Louie' indicated in the note), Hester Maud and Edward Hugh (Bill Alington's father)
