  8. Another volume of Rev John Newton's previously unpublished diary is now available - this one for 1767. John Newton was curate at Olney from 1764-1779. He wrote the hymn - Amazing Grace whilst at Olney. He had a wide circle of friends in the area including Northampton. 1767 was particularly significant as that year he invited the poet William Cowper to Olney.
