In the nave of St. Anne's Church in Annapolis is a new gift, one even older than the historic church itself: a leather-bound Book of Common Prayer, elegantly printed in 1849 by Oxford University Press.It comes compliments of an 81-year-old woman packing up to move to Connecticut. Mary Knight, a widow who has retained her British diction and manner through nearly 40 years of living in the state capital, said, "I'm clearing the decks, you might say. I hate throwing anything away."
