Commentaires : This small book is on display in the parlour at the Bideford Parsonage Museum. The Bideford Parsonage Museum was originally the private residence of Thomas H. Pope, Accountant and Telegraph Operator and was constructed in 1878 for Mr. Pope and his wife, Susan Elizabeth (Eliza) Yeo. In the Summer of 1884, the house was purchased by the Methodist Church for use as their Parsonage and was home to many parsons and their families over the years. Author Lucy Maud Montgomery was only 19 when she came here in August of 1894, to board with the Reverend John F. and Mrs. Ada Estey, while in her first teaching position at the nearby Bideford No. 6 School. She would board here until May of 1895.
