Notes:
The "Mr. Sayers" identified on the box top is likely the reverend Henry Sayers. The Manchester Guardian of May 16, 1891, notes his passing: " ... the Rev. Henry Sayers, M.A., first incumbent of St. James's, Hope, Eccles. Mr. Sayers was a graduate of Trinity College, Dublin, and was admitted to the ad eundem degree of M.A. at Oxford in 1857 ... [When] the picturesque church of St. James, Hope, on the Eccles Old Road, was consecrated, in December, 1861, he was appointed first incumbent ..."
