There are two Dorchesters in England, this one is a small town in Oxfordshire, south of Oxford. In fact it is hardly more than a village, but it has an interesting tourist attraction: a huge abbey church in perpendicular Gothic style. Just next to the abbey is a small museum of local curiosities, among them a document dated 1635. It clearly was supposed to be decorative even though the hand itself was not of the highest quality. The initial and the bold letters are in fractur, whereas the body of the document is in italics.
