 ST GUTHLACA new booklet on the life of St Guthlac is now available. It is in three parts, the first gives information about the times in which Guthlac lived, 1300 years ago, and how we know about him. The next part is a summary of his life story taken from a translation of the book by his first biographer, written within 35 years of his death. The last part comprises a pictorial story of his life. This consists of reproductions from the eighteen roundels of the 800 year old Guthlac Roll, currently housed in the British Museum, together with descriptions of the scenes and background information. The booklet is available in the display box at the back of St Guthlac’s Church, Market Deeping at a cost of £1.50. The proceeds are for church funds. | ||
