DescriptionThe sermon commemorates the benefactions to Sandy Church, Bedfordshire, by John Wynne. This annual sermon was ordered to be preached in rotation by the ministers of Sandy, Sutton, and Northill. The DWL cataloguer conjectures that the sermon was likely preached by William Steevens, but this is not certain. The sermon is complete, written in tiny handwriting (still legible), on small paper (unfoliated and unpaginated).
