The images are a selection of the Skinner Street Congregational Church 1910 Manual (or 'annual report'). To view all the images of the 20-page leaflet, call into the Local History Centre, Poole Museum.
It contains lists of the church's services, activities and societies, its church officers and members and accounts of various funds associated with the church. It is a window into the religious and wider social history of a well attended and active independent church, just before the First World War. PRS. SSCC

A transcription of Skinner Street Congregational Church Seat Book 1791. Created by a joint project of Skinner Street United Reformed Church and Poole Museum using equipment kindly provided by the Somerset and Dorset Family History Society. PRS. SSCC
Factfile
This book lists pew subscriptions, burial fees etc from 1803 to 1816.
It is the last of four similar account books (or 'seat books'), in all of which the church's pastor (Rev. Thomas Durant in this book) was paid from the subscriptions and fees collected (according to rules detailed in the church's Minute Book).
This seat book differs from the others in that it includes burial fees and various incidental expenses. The latter included the supply of oil for the lighting, trimming the wicks and cutting the grass. Perhaps the most interesting expense were the fees paid for 'supplying the pulpit', i.e. the fee for guest preachers. SSCC
