Dr Bray's Associates

Dr Bray's Associates was the body established following the death of Thomas Bray (1656–1730) to continue the work of Bray's Trustees in providing parochial libraries in poorer parts of the country.^[1] In the nineteenth century the Associates tended to set up clerical lending libraries as at Chipping Sodbury (below). The Directory of Parochial Libraries knew of no surviving books from Chipping Sodbury.^[2]
