The correspondence of Thomas Secker, Bishop of Oxford 1737-58

Description

This volume consists of the ‘small beer’ of a diocesan’s in-tray (three hundred and fourteen pages of correspondence over twelve years) during Secker’s time in Oxford, a period he later described as one in which he had ‘not much work on (his) hands’. The volume aims to preserve as much as possible of the original character of the papers reflecting correspondence with non-resident and incumbent clergy, churchwardens, curates and long running debate with Oxford Colleges and their fellows.
