FOR a book on the history of the Christmas crib, Tim Everson, would be interested to hear from any readers with information on when they became common in Anglican churches. He is keen to hear from anyone who has evidence for when their own parish churches first started having a crib, and those who do not have one. He can be contacted on 020 8494 7739, email tim.everson@btinternet.com.
