UK Shakespeare Cinderellas c1900MNH
I researched these and found them to be from the Holy Trinity Church in Stratford-upon-Avon. They were used to carry letters from the church in Old Town to the main Post Office in Stratford (to raise funds for maintenance and repairs). The different colors (9 total) were issued over the period of use (believed to be from 1899 and into the 1910s). William Shakespeare is buried in the church and the design was copied from the statue above his resting place.
Displays very nicely
