Rev. James Holme B.A.

“Though not born in Cleveland, The Reverand James Holme, vicar of  Kirkleatham, deserves honourable mention as the author of  Leisure Musings and Mount Grace Priory and other poetical works.” 

A quote from George Markham Tweddell’s speech to the Stokesley Mechanic’s Institute Saturday 9th November 1850.
“Ready, 32m0., cloth, price One Shilling HYMNS AND SACRED POETRY, by the Brothers, the Rev. Thomas Holme, Vicar of East Cowton ; and the Rev. James Holme, Author of “Leisure Musings,” “Mount Grace Abbey,” kc. London : Hamilton, Adams,”  From this site. http://www.connectedhistories.org/Search_results.aspx?pc=%22East+Cowton%22&sr=bu&st=200
