St. Peter's Collegiate Church Wolverhampton EnglandScope and Content
Postcard Transcription
Location & Date: Wolverhampton - England - 7/12/39
Message:
Dear Clarence and Amy,
This is the same pulpit as that in use when William Bull and his family attended the church. It dates from the 1400's -
Bob.
A few interesting notes:
The Date: Given the location (England), the date 7/12/39 most likely refers to December 7, 1939, rather than July 12th.
Historical Context: This was written just three months after the start of World War II. It’s a quiet, personal moment captured during a very turbulent time in England.
The Subject: Bob is likely referring to St. Peter’s Collegiate Church in Wolverhampton, which is famous for its stone pulpit dating back to the 15th century (the 1400s).
