It was one printed in 1842 and was brought along to Farsley Community Church following their appeal.

It belongs to Bernard Draper and is an important part of his family's history.
Many bibles were put on display by local people, including close competition to Mr. Draper's entry from Mr. Bob Connor, with a large family bible from the 1850s.

All of the bibles had lists of names and dates written into them which led to fascinating discussions and discoveries about local families. The reading of scripture and lively Christian faith has had an important to play in the history of the local area.

The Bible Times Exhibition was hosted by Farsley Community Church.

More than 150 children from Farsley Springbank Junior School and Farsley Farfield Primary School enjoyed hearing about the Bible and how it has influenced our culture.

Some of the children also brought old Bibles, and Callum Longhorn of Farsley Farfield was the winner of the junior section of the oldest bible search, with a printing date of 1927.

A service drawing on the themes of the exhibition was enjoyed by the church family, Boys Brigade and Scouts on Sunday morning.

Rev'd George Bailey, minister at the Community Church, told Farsley Today: "We have been delighted to host this exhibition. Everyone has had a great time and lots of laughs finding out about the amazing stories of the Bible and its use as told through the exhibits and by the organiser, Rev'd Stan Woods."
