Note of Theft
1995/4973/1
1900-1950 / Other / Paper / Publication / Wesley's Chapel
Printed on paper
Engraving, c.1920
This reprint of a note dating to 1777 illustrates that thefts from building sites were just as common in Georgian times as they are today! The 10 guinea reward offered for the return of the tools was a great deal of money; sadly, we do not know whether the tools were ever returned.
The original note was found under wooden panelling inside the Morning Chapel (today's Radnor Hall) in 1864.
