150th Anniversary plaque from the Government of Ontario

Plaque presented to the Bradford United Church by The Hon. George W. Taylor, M.P.P. for the riding of Simcoe Centre, on behalf of the Government of Ontario in honour of their 150th anniversary. The plaque is dated June 1984 and includes the seal and signature of the Premier of Ontario, William Davis. The paper screwed into the plaque is marked with the version of the Ontario coat of arms for use by the Government of Ontario, as well as Ontario's Bicentennial symbol (as a watermark, in the centre of the page). The screws at each corner of the plaque have decorative stylized trilliums.

Mount Pleasant Church Bible

Copy of a Family Bible printed in 1880, with custom-ordered embossed leather binding, with gilt decoration on front. Pasted on the inside of the front cover is a leather book label with gilt lettering that reads: " Presented to the Mount Pleasant Branch of Christ Church by the junior members of the church as a token of affectionate remembrance of a dear friend". This is likely in reference to Ena Stoddart, who moved away from the area after her marriage in 1888. This is likely the Bible that was presented in her honour, as reported in The Witness. The book contains many engraved illustrations, including a coloured frontispiece. At the back there is a board for family portraits, decorated with illumination and with the portrait spots left empty. The edges of the text block are also gilded.
