Scope and Contents

George Crabbe had a long career in the Church and he preached in many parishes. During his lifetime, he held livings in the counties of Dorset, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Suffolk and Wiltshire. There are here over 40 manuscripts of sermons that Crabbe composed and delivered. These are working manuscripts, with annotations, deletions and markings possibly made for the purposes of publication. Some have also been annotated with the date and location in which the sermon was delivered, most commonly Aldborough, Glemham Muston and Trowbridge. The annotations show that Crabbe reused some of the sermons at different dates and places.
