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'.

Letter from William Inge to his son Ralph [W.R. Inge] and his daughter Sophy, written from Crayke.

He supposes he is very lazy leaving mama to write all the letters and they will say he is now as he is writing only one letter to the both of them,

The must know that nine years ago Aunt Veysie was as kid to Mama and Papa as she is to them now. They started from her house to come and live at Crayke in the cottage together. Mama will remember it and being in Daventry Church first.

Carol and Carl will have to eat plum pudding for us tomorrow since you are away.

Ralph and Sophy must see what treats they could get with 12 stamps each, books or photographs or spades or what they like. Miss Maude or Maria might help them choose.

The Boggarts had made much work. They had knocked down the walls of the drawing Room and Dining Room and Mama's room and the Dressing Room. They will find it hard to find their way around when they return.

Uncle Henry had returned from Switzerland. He had been up a mountain more than 10,000 ft high.

Sends his love to Aunt Veysie and Miss Maude.

This series consists mainly of letters written by Edward Churton to his grandson W.R. Inge who he calls 'My dear little Ralph'. They are mainly written from Crayke to Ralph whilst the family were staying in Bournemouth (Dec 1864-65) and where his brother Edward Inge died aged one in March 1865. There are also a few later letters and some from Mary Inge and his sister Sophy.

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.

Letter from M.A. Inge to her grandson Ralph [W.R. Inge], written from Nether Stowe.

They all wished him a very happy day tomorrow. what would he do? She wishes Uncle Jack were with him. He has fixed for 21 June. He has been playing cricket and keeping up the credit of the family. Next Monday he goes to Norfolk with Uncle Karl and Aunt Hettie and baby. Yesterday was the baby's birthday. She and Aunt Annie had taken him an Indian rubber ball and a stuffed bird. She and Aunt Annie were going to London on 16th and stay until 21st. There would be much to see, pictures at Bethnal Green, the Dore gallery and the two pictures there - one Christ leaving the Praetorium 30 feet long and figures all life size. Uncle John and the cousins were to meet them there and they were to choose a Harmonium and a Bashel Carriage but they would grudge every bit of time spent on shopping.

On 21st they were to go to Mrs Walham till 24th. On 26th was the first Lichfield archery. Aunt Annie must try and keep the Challenge Quiver but a very formidable opponent Mrs Colin Nots had just been elected a member. Did he do any on Whit Monday? At Lichfield there is an annual procession with men in armour and a presentation of the posies. Yesterday a deaf and dumb man brought his for them to see - a house with parlour and kitchen, a lady, a housemaid, a sweep going up a chimney, others appearing at the top with their brushes. The man had been making them for 32 years.

Letter from M.A. Inge to her grandson Ralph [W.R. Inge], written on black edged writing paper.

It was very kind of him to give her his first pen and ink letter. It was much more difficult to write with a pen than with a pencil.

What a number of nice books he had for Sunday treats.

First, Miss Pratts flowers and now the painted birds. They had some curious birds for dinner last week that she had never heard of before - 'Prairie birds' from America. The plumage was like the Hen pheasant with tufts of long feathers on the head [small ink drawing of the head with long feathers].

Did he help with the church decorations? Willie and Charlie were too busy climbing the large laurel trees and getting baskets full of leaves and they were very useful little messengers. Mary and Walter held the camellias and leaves ready or Aunt Lacey and Miss Burton who made pretty wreaths for the font.

Had he read 'The Brownies'? She was reading to to Mary and she likes it very much and she says she will be a Brownie and not a Boggart.

Sens her love and a kiss to little Sophy and tell her not to forget Grandmama. She wishes he could see their baby. It was such a fat little things and crows and smiles and talks when it is awake.

Letter from Agnes Sophy Inge to her brother Ralph [W.R. Inge], written from Crayke.

Mr and Mrs Douglas had visited and she believed they were going away tomorrow. She was afraid that his tellingher the secret did not at all make up for the loss of himself. She was so sorry he could not come today. She had been so looking forward to it. They were all charmed with his funny little pictures. She liked the College chaps watching the boat race.

She was writing the letter up atthe rectory where she had come for a music lesson with cousin Lucy and for reading wit dear Granny. She was going to give him a secret tpo guess but as he had told her a secret she wold tell him. The masins had pulled down the wash house and the very old rabbit hutches and they were going to build a new wash house in a different part of the yard so it would change how things looked. In the meantime Dinah and Mrs Scobe will have to wash the clothes in Mrs Foster's wash house which she was afraid would be rather inconvenient, as they will have to carry all the water to Mrs Fosters the day before.

Dear Mama was much better and had come down in time for breakfast for oneor two days past. She did not want him to be ungrateful like Uncle Walter was and say thatshe had not drawn half enough pictures so she had drawn one of one of the mason's bumping his head.

Sends her best love to Miss Ridge and Cousin Ros [end of the name is blotched]

Letter from Edward Churton to his grandson Ralph [W.R. Inge] written from Crayke.

Ralph's account of the waves was very fine. They had no waves to mention, only small ones in ponds. They did have a fine exhibition of bonfires almost all round the hill, to remind them of the fires in the Black Country where Uncle harry was going to live. There were too many to count. Describes where they wee all situated.

Carol and Charley had been reciting the old rhymes:

"This is the night, - I speak it with great sorrow,
When we were all to have been blown up t-morrow,
Therefore take care of fire and candle-light,
And take your candle good, and so Good night".

ps. 6 Nov
They had heard from his dear Mama and she was wrong to get so cold at Whitby but as Ralph and Sophy had caught a cold without his leave then they had set her a bad example.

Letter from Edward Churton to his grandson Ralph [W.R. Inge] writen from Crayke.

Saw the Bangor postmark on the letter when it came and wondered which old Welsh gentleman had written to him. He imagined a venerable old gentleman with spectacles on his nose. But then he recognised the hand writing which was like Ralph's dear mother's.

He had been hoping for a letter from Ralph but did not write to ask for one as he knew Ralph was well employed every day. Praises Ralph's hand writing. Comments on the kind people who Ralph is staying with in Wales and the changeable weather. It had been raining hard in Yorkshire and the harvest work had been hindered. There were anxious reports about cattle plague.

He had read Ralph's letter to Carol and Charlie. He sends his love to Sophy.

Letter from Edward Churton to his grandson Ralph [W.R. Inge]

He was sending a newspaper report of the performance by Roger Iddison in the cricket match between Yorkshire and Surrey.

Colour drawing of a fox at night.

[It is not clear which letter this relates to as there is no reference to a fox in the letter. It is undated].

Letter from Edward Churton to his grandson Ralph [W.R. Inge]

He was very much pleased with Ralph's letter. He dare say the Newfoundland dogs were very fine but he liked Mr Nile quite as well and he hope Ralph would not forget Nile and Charlie. It was pleasant in fine weather to build sandcastles and wished he could be there to see. He supposes Sophy helps.

He sent Ralph the first primrose from the Rectory garden. It was little and grew in a sheltered place near the Terrace. He hoped others would follow. It was cold yesterday and there were showers of snow. Today the snow was gone and it was bright sunshine.

There is a pen and ink drawing of the dogs Nile and Charlie [not clear if it was included with the letter].

Letter from Edward Churton to his grandson Ralph [W.R. Inge] and his grand-daughter Sophy .

Was sending three Crayke snowdrops – one for Ralph, one for Sophy and one for Edward. Said they should put the flower to Edward's nose not mouth incase he should try and eat it [he was a baby]. They were the first Crayke snowdrops to come up and asks if there were earlier ones in Bournemouth. The violets would come soon.

He had heard an old goose or young gosling out with a gun last night trying to shoot his little friend the owl. He did not think he hit the owl.

Includes a pen and ink drawing of the goose out with a gun at night.

Letter from Edward Churton to his grandson Ralph [W.R. Inge] and his grand-daughter Sophy .

He sent some more Crayke flowers – three snowdrops and three aconites. The primroses would come out next. His little owl was alive and merry after the old Goose tried to shoot him.

Letter from Edward Churton to his grandson Ralph [W.R. Inge].

Thanks him for his nice letter. On several nights last week a funny little owl sat in the ivy bush in front of his study window and hooted to him. Supposed he was very cold and hungry. Doesn't know if he found any mice to eat and hopes the owl did not eat the robins, tom-tits, or jenny wrens. [includes a drawing of the owl]. Says there are 130 different kinds of birds in Cleveland. Once they shot an eagle which had a wing span of 6 feet ten inches.

Letter from Edward Churton to his grandson Ralph [W.R. Inge].

He sends a picture of a turkey, as they could not have Ralph and Sophy to help them eat their turkey at Christmas. Hopes they will do better another time. Asks Ralph to write him a letter.

They have had another fall of snow which looks very pretty on the trees and shrubs; but was a sign of winter and cold weather. Nile and Charley [dogs] were well; and the bay pony; and the pussy-cats; and the robin redbreasts.

Letter from Canon Adam Fox to Mrs Wigram [W.R. Inge’s daughter] thanking her and her husband [Derek Wigram, Headmaster of Monkton Combe School] for a nice day in a beautiful place. He much enjoyed the visit and the Inge-ama that she showed him filled in some gaps in his picture of Crayke. He had more thoughts about a Christmas story W.R. Inge had written.
