Description: Scope/Content: Manuscript. Signed at end of text in Volume 4: "1677 Aldrich Swan."
Scope/Content: Collection of manuscripts written by Aldrich Swan, a minister of Wimborne Minster in Dorset, between about 1677 and 1704. It appears that they may have been used by his son, also named Aldrich Swan, a minister in nearby Dorset parishes through 1735. Many of these volumes are written as fine copy manuscripts with few corrections and changes. Some of the volumes of sermons (particularly Volume 3, parts 1-3) have many editing marks and also have been annotated with the places and dates the sermons were preached (1704-1708 in Wimborne, 1719 in Langton, 1723 in Fifehead, and an unknown location written in shorthand in 1735). It is clear than many of the edits and insertions in these volumes are in a different, slightly later hand. Volume 4 contains a set of sermons written by Swan in 1677 and delivered in Kington Magna in 1677 and in Wimborne in 1686 and 1687.
