Book returns - 120 years late!

‘The Microscope and its Revelations’ by Dr William B Carpenter was discovered by Alice Gillett, granddaughter of Professor Boycott, when she was sorting through a collection of 6,000 books following the death of her husband earlier this year.

If the book had been borrowed from Hereford Library, which charges 17p a day, the fine would have been £7,446, although the school has promised to waive any fines.
