Journal of a tour of England and Wales
Journal of a tour of North East Wales and the North of England, 24 July-13 August 1800, by the Rev. Thomas Prior, travelling with his friend Ja[me]s Bessonnet.
The volume describes the voyage from Dublin and along the North Wales coast and the disembarkation by boat in the vicinity of Llandudno (ff. 1 verso-6), followed by visits to Abergele (ff. 6 recto-verso), St Asaph (ff. 8-9, 11), Holywell (ff. 13-15), Chester (ff. 17-23), Liverpool (ff. 25 verso-31), Manchester (ff. 33 verso-51), Buxton (ff. 51 verso-59 verso), Leeds (ff. 69-71), York (ff. 71 verso-75 verso) and Harrogate (inside back cover). The leaves of blotting paper are used mostly for notes and for an account of expenditure for [26 July]-31 August (ff. 9 verso-10 verso, 12 recto-verso); this account, together with the reference to Westmoreland and Cumberland on f. 1, demonstrates that the journal is incomplete.
A scrap album containing holograph letters from E. O. Davies, Bangor, 1930, and J. Glyn Davies, Llandudno, 1930, and a circular letter from Nichol Grieve, secretary, Liverpool Free Church Centre, 1932; notes of an address on congregational singing; a 'final copy' of a resolution by the Liverpool Welsh Presbytery, [1932], and draft resolutions of condolence passed by the [North Wales C.M.] Association, [1937]; a typescript summary of sermons delivered at [Calvinistic Methodist] preaching services ('Cymanfa') at Chester, 1852; press cuttings of Liverpool interest; printed matter; etc.
