Methodist bookplates are the best. I have one awarded to my great-great aunt, as a child, in 1908. This dates from four years later, awarded to a little girl (or boy, I suppose - possibly a He-Evelyn) in Carlin How, a village in Cleveland with (apparently) a thriving Methodist tradition. If the website is to be believed, Evelyn must have been one of the first children to receive a prize from this church.
