DescriptionExtensive correspondence with the Rev Edwards of Dartington Parsonage concerning personal freedom and ethics, petty theft, social exclusion, respect for the Church, the School, the estate, community relations, and marriage.

There is also correspondence relating to the Old Church of St Mary the Virgin and its churchyard. 'Dartington: A Report for the Bishop of the Diocese' (Jan 1948) outlines the history of the relationship between parishioners and the estate since 1925. Later letters mention the theatre and Michael Edwards. A photograph shows R A Edwards with Leonard Elmhirst in 1948.
