Sunday Nov 18 1906
Mr W. B. Bickley came over in the evening to see the Calthorpe deeds.
Notes: The Reverend Swindell was vicar of Erdington and lived at the vicarage on Church Road in Erdington. Miss Fowler is hard to establish who it is as there are several possibilities. Oscar is Oscar Stone from Water Orton and presumably a relative. William Bickleigh Bickley is from Trafalgar Road in Moseley - he has no trade listed so his interest in the Deeds may be as an antiquarian.
