Newspaper cutting with an article celebrating the Restoration of Lydiard Tregoze Church/Interesting Discoveries/Re-Opening Service/Address by Bishop of Bristol.

The restoration led by C E Ponting F.S.A. was completed in 1901. The article praises the incumbent, Revd. Ebenezer Humphrey Jones, and Lady Bolingbroke, for championing the scheme and overcoming financial constraints.

The restoration team uncovered medieval wallpaintings, including those over the chancel arch and the north arcade.
