Information:

Originator of letter is R.R. Tucker from presumably the Affeton Estate Office and references a report of overcrowding in what is now South View Cottage.  The letter is requesting that a room attached to the cottage that was once used as a library and is under the control of the church be relinquished so that it can be used as accommodation. 

It is uncertain if the presence of a library in West Worlington has been known prior to the mention in this letter.
