Restoration and history of the Old Buckenham Bible
An illustrated talk entitled "A Little Bundle of Times" will be given by Jamin Wilson on Saturday 26 April in All Saints Church, Old Buckenham, on the ‘Old Buckenham Bible’ and its conservation. The talk will be followed by refreshments in the Old School Bookshop and an opportunity to see the bible displayed alongside other rare and beautiful books restored by Mr Wilson.
This will be the only opportunity to see this beautiful church bible, in use in the church from its publication in 1701 through to the mid-19th century. Recently re-discovered in poor condition, it has been restored by Jamin Wilson and is now in his private collection. His detailed research has uncovered some fascinating details about this edition of the bible and his dedicated restoration has brought this copy back to life.
There is no formal charge for entrance but donations (suggested £10 per person) towards refreshments costs and in support of All Saints Church are invited. To help with planning please email thegables_2000@yahoo.co.uk to reserve a place.
