The booklet from which the Adverts were scanned. The Bazaar was held to raise £500 to provide an endowment (to pay the Vicar's stipend or salary) for the new Parish of St John the Divine, Coppull. It was staged by St Wilfrid's because the area used to be in Standish Parish - and the Rector had and still has the Patronage, or right to appoint the Vicar of the Parish.
