■■ A book checked out of a former library run by a British cathedral has been returned more than 300 years after it was borrowed. The book, a 1704 printing of The Faith and Practice of a Church of England-Man, was sent by a woman who found it among her godmother’s belongings. The Reverend Canon Keith Farrow of Sheffield Cathedral told the family the overdue fee could buy the cathedral a new roof. “But I did promise the family I wouldn’t charge them the fine,” he said. “It’s a joy to have this little jewel back.”
