Poems on St. Peter's Church and Parish, Ashton-Under-Lyne, the Antiquities of Ashton and Ancient Customs of the Black Lad, Wakes (Classic Reprint)

Tbbsb few verses are written with the desire that all who live in these parts may be made better acquainted with the very ancient and interesting history of A shton-under-L yne and neighbouring towns, and also that the parishioners of St. Peter s Church may see how deeply I appreciate their great attachment to the Church and its burial ground. Their marked attention to the tombs and graves of the dear departed, the wreaths, fresh flowers, and touching mottoes, testify to their kind, affectionate hearts. If I have failed in my description of those matters so interesting to them, I trust they will be merciful in their criticism, and give me credit for having written with the sincere desire of setting forth their many virtues as worthy of imitation. W. B. KS t. Peter s Vicarage, A shton-under-L yne, September lo, 1883.
