Scope and content
Protracted c orrespondence about the sale of Hinxton Vicarage, largely involving the Vicar, Arthur E. Penney, and the Bursar. The Vicarage was in a dilapidated condition, and therre was much discussion about the price. The first purchaser was a Mr Barnett, who planned to establish a reformatory for young men who had fallen foul of the police, and were to be trained for positions in the colonies. This provoked protests in the village, and was presumbly dropped. The file ends with an undated advertisement for the sale of a refurbished Vicarage as a 'charming country property'.
