The Ashbees switched allegiance from their local church in Chipping Campden to Saintbury Church on the other side of Dover's Hill after they had scandalised with a bicycle ride to Warwick on the Lord's Day in June 1902, making it uncomfortable for them to continue regular worship in Chipping Campden. The Ashbees were often invited to lunch by the Reverend Nason after the Sunday service; this presentation copy is thus a first Christmas present from the Ashbees to their new vicar and his family.
