The Rev Edward Litton was appointed rector at St. Andrew the Apostle Church, Naunton, Cheltenham in 1860. He was a noted writer on theology and a friend of Revd Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) who is said to have stayed several times at the rectory.
In 1866 the Rev Litton purchased a 4.5 inch Thomas Cooke telescope with 4 astronomical eyepieces. I wonder if Lewis Carroll ever had the chance to look through this telescope?
