/Note./--Mr. A. M. Broadly, of Bridport, kindly supplies the
following note:--
Stourbridge, in the second decade of the nineteenth century, was
a stronghold of the followers of Joanna Southcott. Amongst them
was the Rev. T. P. Foley, a member of one of the leading county
families of the district. In the spring of 1814 the coming of
the Shiloh was announced, and a crib and a pap-bowl were among
the presents which were made by the faithful. The pap-bowl was
presented in June, and was engraved by Lowe of Birmingham. It
has on it a portrait, cherubim in rays of light, the dove with
the olive branch, and a crowned child leading a lion, with two
repetitions of “Glory to God.” The reverse of the bowl contains,
within two branches of laurel and oak, the following inscription:
“A Token of Love to the Prince of Peace. From the Believers of
Joanna Southcott’s Divine Mission in Stourbridge and its vicinity.”
