Canterbury Diocese, 1885-1928
Most of this is correspondence with and about the livings, arranged by parish within dioceses. Note that these are the modern dioceses, which were not necessarily the ones that the living was in when it was first acquired. There is some overlap with the material in section F. The same numbers have been given for each diocese, thus E/2 and F/2 refer to the diocese of Bath and Wells.
