This geographical reach was observed by a reporter for
The Pall Mall Gazette, who visited in 1886:
'In the visitors' book it is interesting to note the places from which pilgrims have come -- London, Leeds, Hull, Manchester, Chester, Birmingham, Canada, New York, Australia, and even China' (14 May 1886).
It is hoped that the visitor books will be digitized in the next stage of this project, to facilitate detailed research into the profile of the Museum's visitors.
