MAIN, Reverend R.H.  (1868-1953) – slide 43

Notes

The numbering of the slides is as found marked in pencil on their binding strips, and does not appear to define a logical narrative order – the numbers are probably later cataloguing references rather than a contemporary running order. 

Many of the exterior location views have been photographed from contemporary postcards.
