Description
Covers Aug 1889 to Jan 1895.
Photographs pasted into the book largely show people engaged in recreation, especially shooting. Other subjects for photographs include:
An archery contest captioned Meriden (Warwickshire) 1892.
A number of horses, with their names given in the caption.
A group portrait of a military unit (uncaptioned).
A loose photograph of a large number of tents, marked "3rd Derby" on the reverse. Presumably this is a photograph of an encampment of the 3rd Battalion of the Sherwood Foresters (formerly the 1st and 2nd Derby militia), in which Henry Edward Disbrowe Wise served.
Chelveston parish church (Northamptonshire) and Mr Gray's House in Chelveston.
