Scope and Content

Journal, [mid 1820s] (watermark 1822), of a tour through parts of Monmouthshire, Glamorgan and Breconshire, [26] July-[?3] August 1822, in the company of the Rev. B[arton] B[ouchier] and his wife. The author is unidentified but was a resident of Monmouth; the journal was compiled by him after the fact from his notebooks. The tour began and ended in Monmouth, going west as far as Neath, then northwards to Brecon (NLW ex 2962 (i)).
Also included are: a volume of religious notes, [?1820s], in the same hand as the journal (NLW ex 2962 (ii)); and a mid-Victorian album of cartes de visite relating to the family of Edward Smalley Hutchinson of Radcliffe, Lancashire, and Longworth Hall, Lugwardine, Herefordshire, containing thirty-four photographs of family members and five depicting at least two different churches, one being the parish church of St Mary, Radcliffe (NLW ex2962 (iii)).
