The church is a Grade II listed structure, a designation reserved for particularly important historic buildings. Parts of the surviving church date to the 12th century, while much of the present structure was rebuilt during the 14th and 15th centuries. The tower is believed to have been constructed using stone taken from the nearby medieval Rayleigh Castle. The church has undergone several restoration campaigns during the 19th and early 20th centuries, including the period referenced by the inscription in this Bible. \u003cspan class=\"\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"hrykuu\" data-start=\"2653\" data-end=\"2665\"\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2667\" data-end=\"2704\"\u003ePlease examine photographs carefully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2706\" data-end=\"2921\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"15nwyb9\" data-start=\"2706\" data-end=\"2727\"\u003eComplete text block\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"11jgl36\" data-start=\"2728\" data-end=\"2758\"\u003eClean, highly readable pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1jn7t6p\" data-start=\"2759\" data-end=\"2782\"\u003eAttractive age toning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"acsyxl\" data-start=\"2783\" data-end=\"2801\"\u003eSolid oak boards\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ee0bo1\" data-start=\"2802\" data-end=\"2845\"\u003eWear to leather spine consistent with age\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"32bkv2\" data-start=\"2846\" data-end=\"2890\"\u003eHandwritten provenance inscription present\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"87cx4y\" data-start=\"2891\" data-end=\"2921\"\u003eNo major missing pages noted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1wyzsyo\" data-start=\"2923\" data-end=\"2944\"\u003eCollector Interest\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2946\" data-end=\"2988\"\u003eThis Bible should appeal to collectors of:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"2990\" data-end=\"3176\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"8ghgq0\" data-start=\"2990\" data-end=\"3006\"\u003eAntique Bibles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"13p4673\" data-start=\"3007\" data-end=\"3032\"\u003eEcclesiastical antiques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"xtfyfh\" data-start=\"3033\" data-end=\"3049\"\u003eChurch history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"zffkgi\" data-start=\"3050\" data-end=\"3065\"\u003eEssex history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"pugv9j\" data-start=\"3066\" data-end=\"3109\"\u003eHoly Trinity Church, Rayleigh memorabilia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"vylivs\" data-start=\"3110\" data-end=\"3142\"\u003eUnique and custom bookbinding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"19f96mr\" data-start=\"3143\" data-end=\"3176\"\u003eArchitectural salvage artefacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight - 515g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight - 15.2cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth - 11cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThickness - 4cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Momo Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54076057223507,"sku":null,"price":595.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/9187\/5411\/files\/IMG_7954.jpg?v=1782229818","url":"https:\/\/www.momorarebooks.co.uk\/products\/1911-kjv-pocket-bible-with-wooden-cover","provider":"Momo Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
