And you thought you took forever to return library books.
Someone recently returned a book to a British cathedral library that officials say they believe was checked out more than 300 years ago.
The book, a 1704 edition of The Faith and Practice of a Church of England Man, originally written in 1688, arrived via mail at Sheffield Cathedral this week, with a note enclosed explaining that it came from a woman in Wales who found it among her godmother’s belongings after she died. In the godmother’s will “was the bequest that it should return to Sheffield Cathedral,” the cathedral’s vice dean and canon missioner, Keith Farrow, told the Sheffield Star.
