Photo story: Rare find

Philip Taubenheim, a senior auctioneer at Wotton Auction Rooms, in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, with a Bible, printed through the reign of Elizabeth I, which was discovered in a Cotswold vicarage. “It just looks like a big 18th century Bible, partly since it has been rebound, but when we open the duvet, we discover the unique date of 1566, which is about as early as English Bibles generally come,” Mr Taubenheim explained. “This is a very rare survivor from that period.” The Bible is as a consequence of be put up on the market on Wednesday. “We’re estimating it as £1000 to £1500, but we could find it makes £2000, or it could make £3000,” he said
