Choral Evensong with the Dedication of new Stained Glass Windows Commemorating Thomas Traherne with a Small Archive

A small archive which celebrates the life of Anglican clergyman and mystical poet Thomas Traherne who was born circa 1636 in Hereford, England. Following study at Brasenose College, Oxford he became the rector of Credenhill in 1657. In his lifetime he published only one book, Roman Forgeries (1673) and the rediscovery of his work is considered one of the great stories of modern 20th century literary scholarship. The archive includes:
