FOOTNOTES
[1] Or Medeshamstede = Meadow homestead.
[2] He claimed the Earldom of Oxford and the Great Chamberlainship of
England in right of his mother, Lady Mary Vere, sister and heiress of
Edward, seventeenth Earl of Oxford, but succeeded in establishing his
claim to the Chamberlainship only.
[3] Defeated and slain at Flodden Field, 1513.
[4] The others are Riby, Sutton St. Edmund, and one in Lincoln, now
destroyed.
[5] The Hermitage which dated from 1323 was absorbed into the Hospital.
[6] Originally “Glanford briggs.”
[7] At Mellor in Derbyshire is a pulpit of very early date, hollowed out
of the trunk of a tree and carved in panels.
[8] Nearly five hundred years later his tombstone was discovered in the
pavement of St. Mark’s and brought to England.
[9] The coal output in the United Kingdom in 1913 was 287,411,869 tons,
an increase of 27 millions on the previous year.
[10] As at Grantham.
[11] Where there were no osiers they took to the reeds. A Ramsay man, now
in his 95th year (1914), remembers the reed-harvest at Whittlesey Mere
being frequently injured by the clouds of starlings who roosted in them.
[12] Figured in Lyson’s Cumberland p. ccvii.
[13] She saved Smith’s life, subsequently married an Englishman, John
Rolfe, and died at Gravesend, where two windows have just—July, 1914—been
put up to her memory. Her most distinguished descendant is Sir R. S.
Baden-Powell.
[14] Near Boston Haven.
[15] The ‘shout’ was a sort of flat-bottomed canoe, sometimes covered
fore and aft with canvas painted grey in which one man lay with his hands
over the sides so that by using short paddles he could approach the ducks
unseen. It is not likely that Hall _made_ the gun, but no doubt he fitted
it to the shout.
[16] On the outer side of Boston Deeps opposite Friskney Flats.
[17] The gift of a late parish clerk.
[18] _Wytteworde_ may have meant the warning notice of a funeral.
[19] _Yereday_ = the anniversary of a death.
[20] Corporaxys is the plural of corporax = a linen cloth for the
consecrated elements. (_See_ Chap. XXIII.)
[21] Spelt indifferently Reseuyd, Receuyd, Reseauyd, reseueade, Resauyd,
resevyd, Recevyd.
[22] This is Gunby St. Peter; Gunby St. Nicholas is between N. Witham and
the Leicestershire border.
[23] The corporax or corporal was the linen cloth to go under or over the
vessel containing the consecrated elements.
[24] Wong = field. In Horncastle there is a street called “The Wong.”
[25] The most notable instance of this is on the Gosforth Cross in
Cumberland, where the same figure represents both Odin and Christ. Here
too was a permanent Norse settlement.
[26] The astounding list of Manors and advowsons handed over to “the
Master or custodian and the Chaplains of the College and almshouse
of the Holy Trinity of Tattershall and to their successors” was the
following:—“The Manors of Wasshyngburgh, Ledenham, ffulbeck, and Driby,
and the advowsons of the Churches of the same Manors, and the Manors of
Brinkyll, ffoletby, Boston, Ashby Puerorum, Withcall Souche, Withcall
Skypwyth, Bynbroke, called Northall, Woodenderby, Moreby, Wylkesby,
Conyngesbye, Holtham, the moiety of the Manors of Swynhope, Willughton,
Billingey and Walcote and the advowson of the Church of Swynhope.”
[27] They all came from Lord Middleton’s park in Nottinghamshire.
[28] This is now being done.
[29] A tax of a fifteenth levied on merchants’ goods in King John’s reign.
[30] Prov. 17. 14.
[31] See Frontispiece.
[32] _Hydegy_ Hay-de-guy or guise lit. Hay of Guy or Guise, a
particular kind of hay or dance in the 16th and early 17th century.
Spenser, Shepherd’s Calendar “Heydeguyes”; Drayton, Polyolbion, “dance
hy-day-gies” among the hills. Robin Goodfellow in “Percy Reliques,” &c.
English Dictionary, Murray. _Hay_ (of uncertain origin) a country dance
with winding movement of the nature of a reel.
[33] See Illustration, page 180.
[34] This Matthew Flinders, of Donington, was a notable hydrographer. He
was sent as lieutenant in command of an old ship the _Xenophon_, renamed
the _Investigator_, to explore and chart the coast of S. Australia in
1801-3. And he took with him his young cousin John Franklin who had just
returned from the battle of Copenhagen where he distinguished himself as
a midshipman on the _Polyphemus_,—Captain John Lawford. Under Flinders he
showed great aptitude for Nautical and Astronomical observations and was
made assistant at the Sydney observatory, the Governor, Mr. King, usually
addressing him as “Mr. Tycho Brahe.” These two natives of Lincolnshire,
Flinders and Franklin, are of course responsible for such names on the
Australian Coast as _Franklin Isles_, _Spilsby Island_ in the _Sir
Joseph Banks_ group, _Port Lincoln_, _Boston Island_, _Cape Donington_,
_Spalding Cove_, _Grantham Island_, _Flinders Bay_, _&c._
The _Investigator_ proving unseaworthy, Flinders, with part of his crew,
sailed homewards on the _Cumberland_; and touching at St. Mauritius was
detained by the French Governor because his passport was made out for the
_Investigator_. He was set free after seven tedious years on the island,
1803-1810, and died at Donington 1814.
[35] The _Times_, alluding to the Ulster Plot, spoke of “The Pinchbeck
Napoleons of the Cabinet.”
[36] See Chap. XXII.
[37] These were cut in Nottinghamshire; but I see that Sussex is to
supply the oak for the roof timbers of Westminster Hall.
[38] An expression used in “Long whist.”
[39] Or “Shelter,” which, from its name, “Lonely Bield,” was probably far
from any other human habitation.
[40] Waterfall.
[41] “A trotting burnie wimpling thro’ the ground,” Allan Ramsay’s
_Gentle Shepherd_, Act I., Sc. 2.
[42] Daisied slopes.
[43] Vale.
[44] Characters in _The Gentle Shepherd_.
[45] Characters in _The Gentle Shepherd_.
[46] Brow.
[47] Flaming at one end.
[48] Ruinous walls.
[49] Grace.
[50] Cunning.
[51] Quick.
[52] Hollow.
[53] Taste.
[54] Plenty.
[55] Catgut, fiddlestrings.
[56] Play.
[57] A tune.
[58] Stradivariuses and Cremonas.

Extra crown 8vo, gilt tops, =7s. 6d.= net each.
=London.= By Mrs. E. T. Cook. With Illustrations by HUGH THOMSON and
FREDERICK L. GRIGGS.
_GRAPHIC._—“Mrs. Cook is an admirable guide; she knows her
London in and out; she is equally at home in writing of Mayfair
and of City courts, and she has a wealth of knowledge relating
to literary and historical associations. This, taken together
with the fact that she is a writer who could not be dull if she
tried, makes her book very delightful reading.”
=Middlesex.= By WALTER JERROLD. With Illustrations by HUGH THOMSON.
_EVENING STANDARD._—“Every Londoner who wishes to multiply
fourfold the interest of his roamings and excursions should
beg, borrow, or buy it without a day’s delay.”
=Hertfordshire.= By HERBERT W. TOMPKINS, F.R.Hist.S. With Illustrations
by FREDERICK L. GRIGGS.
_WESTMINSTER GAZETTE._—“A very charming book.... Will delight
equally the artistic and the poetic, the historical and the
antiquarian, the picturesque and the sentimental kinds of
tourist.”

GRIGGS.

L. Griggs contributes a copious series of delicately graceful
illustrations.”

_SPECTATOR._—“A very charming book, both to dip into and to
read.... Every page is sown with something rare and curious.”
=Kent.= By WALTER JERROLD. With Illustrations by HUGH THOMSON.
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._—“A book over which it is a pleasure
to pore, and which every man of Kent or Kentish man, or
‘foreigner,’ should promptly steal, purchase, or borrow.... The
illustrations alone are worth twice the money charged for the
book.”
=Sussex.= By E. V. LUCAS. With Illustrations by FREDERICK L. GRIGGS.
_WESTMINSTER GAZETTE._—“A delightful addition to an excellent
series.... Mr. Lucas’s knowledge of Sussex is shown in so many
fields, with so abundant and yet so natural a flow, that one
is kept entertained and charmed through every passage of his
devious progress.”
=Berkshire.= By JAMES EDMUND VINCENT. With Illustrations by FREDERICK L.
GRIGGS.
_DAILY CHRONICLE._—“We consider this book one of the best in an
admirable series, and one which should appeal to all who love
this kind of literature.”
=Oxford and the Cotswolds.= By H. A. EVANS. With Illustrations by
FREDERICK L. GRIGGS.
_DAILY TELEGRAPH._—“The author is everywhere entertaining and
fresh, never allowing his own interest to flag, and thereby
retaining the close attention of the reader.”
=Shakespeare’s Country.= By The Ven. W. H. HUTTON. With Illustrations by
EDMUND H. NEW.
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._—“Mr. Edmund H. New has made a fine book
a thing of beauty and a joy for ever by a series of lovely
drawings.”

CONNOR.
_STANDARD._—“In our judgment, as excellent and as lively a book
as has yet appeared in the Highways and Byways Series.”

men and manners, and quick in the interpretation of all the
half-inarticulate lore of the countryside.”

_DAILY GRAPHIC._—“Replete with enjoyable and informing
reading.... Illustrated by exquisite sketches.”
=Somerset.= By EDWARD HUTTON. With Illustrations by NELLY ERICHSEN.

West-country-man beating with enthusiasm, and with pride for
the goodly heritage into which he has been born as a son of
Somerset.”
=Devon and Cornwall.= By ARTHUR H. NORWAY. With Illustrations by JOSEPH
PENNELL and HUGH THOMSON.
_DAILY CHRONICLE._—“So delightful that we would gladly fill
columns with extracts were space as elastic as imagination....
The text is excellent; the illustrations of it are even better.”
=South Wales.= By A. G. BRADLEY. With Illustrations by FREDERICK L.
GRIGGS.
_SPECTATOR._—“Mr. Bradley has certainly exalted the writing
of a combined archæological and descriptive guide-book into a
species of literary art. The result is fascinating.”

JOSEPH PENNELL.
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._—“To read this fine book makes us eager to
visit every hill and every valley that Mr. Bradley describes

lover of Wales.”

deserves to rank with the best literature about the county.”
=East Anglia.= By WILLIAM A. DUTT. With Illustrations by JOSEPH PENNELL.
_WORLD._—“Of all the fascinating volumes in the ‘Highways and
Byways’ series, none is more pleasant to read.... Mr. Dutt,

well.”

and HUGH THOMSON.
_PALL MALL GAZETTE._—“The wonderful story of Yorkshire’s past
provides Mr. Norway with a wealth of interesting material,
which he has used judiciously and well; each grey ruin of
castle and abbey he has re-erected and re-peopled in the most
delightful way. A better guide and story-teller it would be
hard to find.”
=Lake District.= By A. G. BRADLEY. With Illustrations by JOSEPH PENNELL.

topographic eye. He handles legend and history in entertaining
fashion.”
