Music book of George Mills, a member of the choir at Over Wallop, Hampshire, containing the music (in single treble notation) and words of a number of Christmas carols.
Scope and Contents
The music book consists of a number of gatherings of leaves stitched together inside three layers of paper covers. The carols appear to have been copied in a number of children's hands, at different times, the watermarks in the sheets being dated between 1836 and 1846, with some at the end dated 1869. Francis Collinson's note in pencil is at folio 1.
