Held in Trust

This masterly account of ordinary parish life in the early years of the twentieth century, draws on extensive research of parish archives and interviews with older Catholics. Drawing together such diverse subjects as pastoral letters about the strict observance of Lent, official directives about priest's bicycles, anecdotes about social life between the wars and the multiplication of lay organisations, the author has provided for future generations a valuable social and historical record of our Catholic heritage.
