Old Church Lore by William Andrews, F.R.H.S., author of “Curiosities of the Church,” “Old-Time Punishments,” “Historic Yorkshire,” etc.
The welcome reception from the public and the press accorded to my volume entitled “Curiosities of the Church,” has induced me to issue another work on similar lines. Like that book, this one shows how closely the Church in bygone times was linked with the national and social life of the people.
An attempt has been made to blend instruction and entertainment, and present out-of-the-way facts drawn from unpublished documents and other sources, which do not usually come under the notice of the reader.
