Description: | Handbound manuscript volume entitled 'Journal of William Allison weaver of Theddlethorpe 1782-1854'.
The volume begins with transcriptions of Bible passages.
These are followed by a summary of the writer's life headed "The Life and expearence of William Allison", beginning with an account of his father, Richard Allison, an early Methodist, and then dealing with his own life, written in 1836, after which the volume takes the form of diary entries until October 1854.
William, son of Richard and Alice Allison, was born at Manby and baptised at St Mary's church on 16 February 1776. Early Methodists often attended both church and chapel, initially viewing themselves as a renewal movement within the Church of England.
He died on 27 November 1854 and was buried at Theddlethorpe St Helen. Most rural Methodists were buried in parish churchyards since country chapels usually did not have burial grounds. | Subjects: | Methodist Religion & Beliefs | Temporal: | 1836-1854 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
