Islip Friendly Societies
Saturday 25 May 1850
Islip Friendly Societies
On Monday last the members of the Swan benefit society, and those of the Union fellowship society, held at the Fox and Grapes, met at their respective inns, and afterwards proceeded to church ... At the Fox and grapes the dinner was served in very excellent manner by the worthy secretary... The pleasures of the day were greatly increased by the Headington Brass Band. The conviviality was kept up until a late hour, and it may be truly said that a more pleasant and agreeable day was never spent.
