Exeter Diocese, 1912-1939
File
Reference Code: GBR/0012/MS Add.8293/E/13

Conditions Governing Access:
From the Fonds:
Access to the deposited records is unrestricted, and use may be made of them in publications without reference to the Trustees. Formal permission should, however, be sought for any full-length publication of material derived from them.
