Description: Boards are marked and damaged – see photos. Pink leaf ends all round. There are no inscriptions in this copy – no entries in the Family Register, Births, Deaths and Marriages sections. This is quite unusual for this family bible. The bible is completely clean throughout. It is solidly bound with nothing missing or loose. In his Will dated 4th June 1683 Bartholomew Hickling left a cottage and several pieces of land in trust for the setting up of a school in Rothley to be free only for 14 or 15 boys of the poorer sort of inhabitants. To pay a good, able and efficient schoolmaster to teach the reading of English and also Latin but primarily for the reading of perfect English. Another feature of this Charity was a Bartholomew Hickling Bible presented annually by the schoolmaster to one of his free scholars who is most proficient in reading. I have a collection of other old and antiquarian books for sale. Please click on the link to see them.
