Thomas Sands Ms
Thomas Sands Ms book is in private ownership but a photographic copy on tranparencies has been made by the Village Music Project
The book is 11 1/2" wide and 9" tall. It is dated March 12th 1810. In sideways script is the word 'Rye Gaite' - possibly meaning Ryegate. The book is assumed to originate from Lincolnshire but this is yet to be confirmed.
