Diary of a Resurrectionist, Monday 10th February 1812

Posted on February 10, 2012 by theresurrectionists

Monday 10th
Met. Went to St. James’s. Got 9 large & 4 small, took them to Barthol’w.

A significant number raised – a total of thirteen; nine adults and four children. Taken to the usual store at St Bartholomew’s.

There is nothing to especially indicate which St James’s this might have been, but Isabella Basil Holmes suggests “the ground in the Hampstead Road belonging to St James’s Picadilly”.
