The remains of what appears to be a page from a bible was amongst my late grandmother Elsie Everett's (nee Mills) possessions. A portion of about one-eighth was missing. The page was written on both sides and is shown below together with transcripts.

My research found that Frances Page was Elsie Everett's great grandmother and that she was born in Ashington, Sussex. I later found that a large farmhouse called Whitelands is still in existence to the south of the village, the farm was apparently once the village dairy.
