Ashprington Parish Magazine January 1903 – December 1918
In January 1903 the Rector, Rev. Reginald Carwithen, started a monthly Parish Magazine. This was a new venture and as far as he was aware it was the first time in the long history of the parish that its doings had been recorded. He continued to edit the magazine until December 1918 when paper rationing and rapidly increasing printing costs forced closure.
In 2014 Richard Soans, David Davies and Laurence Green got together to republish the magazines in collected form with the permission of the Devon Heritage Centre where they had been held.
They are beautifully written and provide a fascinating account of life in the parish and the work of the church and its rector during those most interesting years.
Enquiries concerning this publication may be addressed to Kathi Green.
