Our gift today is a Robin, taken from a beautiful Victorian scrapbook that we hold.
"Pretty bird! How beautifully dost thou sit and sing" wrote Bishop Joseph Hall in his 'Meditation on a Robin Red-breast' singing at his window.

#ArchiveAdvent Day 22. For soldiers fighting in WW1, receiving an Xmas #Stocking may have been a far off dream, but the members of Baxter Gate Baptist Church in Loughborough were determined to ensure they received Xmas gifts. Here's a list of items church members could send in parcels to the troops.

St Nick would have been visiting this #chimney from about 1780 onward! This is the Charles E Ives Birthplace in its original location on Main Street here in Danbury. With the bit of snow and bare trees, the photo looks to have been taken on a wintry day like today! #ArchiveAdventCalendar
