Notebook containing a Christmas Story: Reyner Ladbroke, written by W.R. Inge when he was about 11 years old.

This series consists of material added to the collection of material donated by the family. It consists of:

(1) a scrapbook about W.R. Inge's life
(2) two undated letters sent to Norman Pittenger

The real core of the diary runs from 10 October 1907 [marked 'Vol I' by Inge] until about 1941, with a gap between 18 May 1915 and 1 January 1917.

The earlier diaries are scanty and restricted by the stationer's page format. From 1907, at the end of each year, he usually wrote his reflections upon it. He wrote concisely, and mostly factually, about his family, his lecturing and
preaching, dining and travelling, and about the institutions he knew well. These included, St Paul's, several Oxford and Cambridge Colleges, the Modern Churchman's Union, the British Academy, the Eugenics Society, and the National Portrait Gallery).

He was friends with three successive Masters of Magdalene - S.A. Donaldson, A.C. Benson and A.B. Ramsay and he knew some politicians quite well (e.g. Haldane, Beaverbrook).

Some of his opinions come through strongly: such as his dislike of Roman Catholicism, the Anglican cathedral choral tradition, High Church ritualism, Socialism, and his support for 'appeasement'.

These are part of a series of diaries kept by Kitty Inge (wife of W.R. Inge). These three were removed from the series and sent by Craufurd Inge (Kitty's son) to fill a gap in Inge's diaries. The rest of her diaries were never sent to the College.

W.R. Inge pasted a range of material into his diaries including press cuttings; obituaries of friends; menus of dinners he attended; and postcards of places he visited.

Some items were loose rather than pasted in and these were previously removed and placed separately in envelopes. The envelopes are arranged by date and range from 1923 to 1944.

Includes pasted in:

(1) colour postcard of Wampach's Hotel in Folkestone
(2) black and white postcard of Derwent Water from Friar's Crag
(3) two photographs possibly of Canterbury
(4) list of attendees at a dinner held by the American Ambassador and Mrs Page [The Times, 16 May 1914]

Loose:
(1) A prayer for peace by H.D. Rawnsley dated August 1914 cut from a newspaper
