/76 Hindley and Wilkinson Ltd reporting how the mantelpieces came to be sold to Willson Bros ... "We had let it be known that we could deal with the chimney pieces, and we received a written offer for them from a French dealer, upon which we could have completed the purchase. We also approached Messrs Willson and were glad to find them willing to pay a price that made it unnecessary to give further attention to the French dealer. Messrs Willson subsequently offered them to the National Trust at cost price, and in view of the very unfair Press comments that appeared at the time, we are most anxious that your Lordship should be fully informed as to our part in the transaction"..., 30 Nov 1911 | Subjects: | Church Of England Parishes Religion & Beliefs | Temporal: | Oct 1911-Mar 1912 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
