Myself and both servants at church in the morning… We had a brief read for the rebuilding of the parish church of Coverton in Nottinghamshire, the expense of which amounts to the sum of £1646 and upwards, to which collection I gave 2d.
After dinner my old acquaintance Mr Tucker came to see me and dined with me on half a calf’s head boiled and a piece of pork boiled and some turnip greens. He stayed till we went to church and then went home. Myself and both servants at church in the afternoon…
