I N T R O D U C T I O NPurposed u r in g recent years increasing emphasis has been laid on the importance of local history. A number of books, such as Local history in England by W. G. Hoskins—to name but one, exemplify the advantages of this line of study, not only to the archaeologist and social historian, but to those who teach history in the schools or are training for that work. It is now a commonplace to assert that the story o f a familiar village, town, or shire, can often, through its immediacy, arouse the interest and stimulate the understanding of a young pupil more actively than a premature attempt to survey the national scene. The narrow approach can later widen (it is hoped) into a broader field of investigation. W ith respect to Bedfordshire, an admirable directive for both teacher and pupil was produced only last year under the aegis o f the Education Department of the County Council. This is Local history in Bedfordshire: A handbook of guidance upon sources and materials available for teachers and historians, compiled by T. Booth and H. A. Carnell.

The present work aspires to a similar aim but on a greatly extended scale. It is an “endeavour” (as old Thomas Fuller would have put it) to bring together in one volume the titles of printed material dealing with every aspect of Bedfordshire past and present, obtained from an examination o f library collections and from researches in literature. This material comprises the books, and with certain exceptions specified later, the booklets and pamphlets dealing wholly or in great part with things and persons Bcdfordian, together with contributions to periodicals and a selection of newspaper articles of the same nature. In addition are a number of references to background reading, but not of course exhaustive, being in the main circumscribed by the compiler’s personal knowledge. Finally some explanatory notes and brief comments are given where desirable.

Such a compilation has during the past twenty years been started by various hands and for various reasons laid aside. The present writer is grateful for the use of these preliminary efforts which lightened his labours at the outset. To him and his sponsors it has seemed evident that the work should be pushed on to a conclusion without further delay, for several reasons. In the first place there is the demand o f the student. On the one hand, the serious historian desires in compact and accessible form a list o f printed material to use in conjunction with his documents and primary sources. On the other hand, the inquiring amateur, with probably little regard for primary records, will find a bibliography useful when he wishes to extend his knowledge of some branch of local history or pursue another subject in the same field. Secondly, as a matter of local pride it is surely a duty to attempt a definitive record of all that has been written about Bedfordshire. This has been of quite remarkable bulk when one takes into account the small size o f the county and its obvious topographical and historical limitations, such as the absence of a cathedral or university and the comparatively small part it played in the Great Rebellion. The quality of the matter, too, has been good, especially during the mid-nineteenth century and since the inception of the publications of the Bedfordshire Historical Record Society in 1913, up to the last decade which has seen the continued appearance o f no less than three new periodicals reflecting a keen interest in the natural history, archaeology, and general life of the county. Thirdly, there are four major public assemblages in Bedfordshire of local books and pamphlets, as well as a number o f smaller collections (often with unique items), including some of a private or semi-private standing but no doubt accessible to the genuine student. Not all these are fully catalogued, and so a bibliography based in part on the holdings of at least ten of them should be of some convenience to both librarians and inquirers. Finally, the cynic might add, that in days when bureaucracy requires for its own mysterious purposes the re-adjustment o f long-standing boundaries and even the obliteration o f a small but ancient shire, it is perhaps desirable to have one more book on Bedfordshire before its confines too are changed.Scope

This bibliography can safely omit nearly all MSS., as the recent (1957) Guide to the Bedfordshire Record Office contains a catalogue of its documentary material, official and unofficial archives, etc., and a list o f its local MS. map collection. This information can be supplemented, if need be, by the various Public Record Office Guides, and as regards printed maps, by the well-known bibliography of atlases by T. Chubb (see A4). As was noted in an earlier paragraph, the printed matter

7

itself has to be restricted to certain limits, otherwise the book would have no end. Private and Local Acts of Parliament (with a few striking exceptions: Harper Charity Acts in particular) are excluded: they do indeed call for separate attention. Other rejects vary both in quality and quantity, and to enumerate them even by classes only would add another page to this introduction. They comprise most of the publications of administrative bodies, some of them essential to the social historian but best sought in the department they concern (if indeed they are still preserved there) or else at the B.R.O. ; the reports and descriptive brochures of various institutions and establishments; purely statistical matter; sales catalogues; the multifarious handbooks, leaflets, and single sheets emanating from clubs, societies, etc. (here again the rule may sometimes be broken), not to speak o f mere programmes and prospectuses. The same deprivation applies to a good deal of periodical literature (see A16b); books o f illustrations with little or no letterpress; works o f fiction with a Bedfordshire setting stated or implied; writings by persons associated with Bedfordshire lacking an autobiographical element or a direct bearing on any aspect of the county. The last cover a great many sermons, archdeacons’ charges, etc., of a doctrinal or hortatory character. (Bedford Public Library has some interesting and unique examples of these in its former “Bunyan” —now “Bedford”—room.) It has been necessary to count certain typographical substitutes such as reproduction from typewriting as “printing” , otherwise such essential items as the transcripts of parish registers and the Bedfordshire Archaeologist could not have been admitted. Furthermore, the titles o f a few single typescripts (usually theses) of special interest have been listed. In concluding this paragraph one must stress that in the case of “borderline” publications rules cannot be imposed too narrowly.

A rrangem entThe table of Contents shows that these are classified on broad lines, avoiding the detail and syste

matic arrangement found in a library catalogue. The first division of twenty sections listed alphabetically embraces material belonging to subjects with which the county as a whole is concerned. This is followed by a division comprising titles pertaining to individual places, its four sections covering the three boroughs and other towns and villages. The repetition of items due to overlapping has been got rid of in large part by cross-references, considerable in number but not found possible to make exhaustive in the sections Bedford and Luton , to which so many o f the county and biographical subjects can partly relate. This crossing is necessary too in order to dispense with an Index of Subjects. In both divisions the large sections are usually subdivided, sometimes through several stages. The material within these subsections is generally (but not always) arranged chronologically according to publication. One section, T opography, lends itself to this method without further splitting, but N ewspapers and Periodicals is more readily treated alphabetically. These and some other major groups are compact and homogeneous, whilst a few (Administration in particular) are by necessity loosely formed in order to preclude a multiplicity of small divisions. Archaeology is merged in H istory, as indeed Ecclesiastical and M ilitary H istory and N umismatics might have been, but after some weighing in the balance they have been separated. “Antiquities” , a familiar term in many bibliographies, disappears, as it can be easily absorbed by other sections.

The concluding division, B iography, requires a few special words. The choice o f deceased Bedfordshire worthies is a personal one and so cannot expect to receive universal acceptance. But it must be remembered that this selection has been governed largely by the availability o f printed records, a condition that explains the omission of, or perfunctory reference to, a number of prominent eighteenth and early nineteenth-century names: Eiger, Green, Livius, Long, Moore, Nash, etc. Nevertheless, a strong effort has been made to cite the whereabouts of information concerning as wide and diversified a cross-section of Bedfordshire personalities through the centuries as could be gathered together. This gathering has come from biographical reference books—the more important of which, like the Dictionary of National Biography, have their own lists o f authorities, usually not repeated here—and from periodicals and newspapers o f standing (chiefly their obituary columns). To relieve the bareness o f strings o f names and references the compiler has ventured to extend his interpolations. He has inserted the dates of birth and death of

8

/each person (when known), done his best to name the birthplace if in Bedfordshire, and stated the essentials of the subject’s career. Thus some individuality is given to the figures, there is a linking together o f members of families, and this portion of the bibliography can be used as a rough-and- ready biographical guide. Round brackets denote that the names within are of persons associated with some locality in the county through an office held in absentia or for architectural and other work done there or relating to it, but they were neither born within its bounds nor did they live there permanently. The mere fact o f being educated in Bedfordshire or o f residing there without playing a part in its affairs has not given the right of entrance into the list, which otherwise would lose all sense of proportion. This stipulation explains the absence o f such distinguished alumni as Justice Hawkins and Erskine May, Deverell and Huddleston, George Farrar and William Tilden, Edgar Mobbs and A. O. Jones; and, obeying a rigid conformity, might have rejected some others too. Finally, the greatest names o f all—B unyan and H oward the Philanthropist—receive scant attention simply because they have their own adequate bibliographies, and what would have to be a virtual reproduction o f the biographical portions o f these would overbalance the present work.

Bibliographical DataThe titles o f books and pamphlets follow the author’s name, and are given in full unless very

diffuse, when omissions are indicated. The spelling o f the original is retained, but capital initial letters are reserved for proper names. Bibliographical details are confined to date of publication (in parentheses if conjectured), place o f publication when not in London (in many small items this is hard to establish), and the indication o f a folio volume. An attempt has been made to show by means of literal symbols (see Abbreviations) the location o f the books, etc., in the chief Bedfordshire libraries, and where these fail, in the British Museum, the University Library, Cambridge, and occasionally in other collections. When a volume is well known and likely to be held by all reputable libraries it has not seemed worth while to check all its locations; and the same applies to a number o f “background” works which would be kept in the general (i.e., non-local) part o f a library, and if not there, could be obtained from a central library.

Probably three parts o f the aggregate of titles have been seen by the compiler. Most o f the remaining quarter have been vouched for on his behalf by responsible persons. A few items, however, are left that have not been so inspected. Their names have been taken from other bibliographies, from booksellers’ catalogues, from literature, and from library lists. Chief among the last-named is the catalogue o f the Bedford “Old Library” in which are a number of titles o f works missed in the transference of that collection to the Public Library. It is hoped that these may turn up before long. But such volumes admittedly tend towards the hypothetical. Their titles may be misleading or inaccurately cited; and so it is with considerable hesitation that they are included in this bibliography, even when followed by the warning “N ot seen”.

W ith regard to periodicals and newspapers the symbols are usually confined to publications which are found only outside the county. It is taken for granted that the major libraries hold the familiar Bedfordshire periodicals from Notes BAAS down to those of today, whilst the newspapers (apart from the large collection o f cuttings at Luton Museum and in some scrap-books at the B.R.O.) are restricted locally to the offices o f publication in Bedford and Luton, and (in incomplete series) to the Public Libraries o f those towns. In citation, with respect to periodicals, the author’s name and title o f the article (which sometimes has to be supplied) are usually followed by volume number, page reference, and date o f the year o f publication; with respect to newspaper articles, the date of the day of issue is generally the only information given.

A brief inspection of the serried ranks of learned periodicals filling stack after stack, storey after storey, in one of our larger libraries, will soon convince one that a search for Bedfordshire data would be endless. A number of nineteenth century magazines—mainly religious, antiquarian, and agricultural—demand close examination (Folklore comes to mind) and the result might be rewarding; but it is consoling to add that where this has been done, volume by volume, the resulting local material is sparse and trivial.

9

As for newspapers, besides an examination of the extracts filed at Luton Museum (see ante), only the Bedfordshire Times and Standard, in its various forms from 1845, has been closely surveyed, and then primarily for series of articles. Outstanding of course are the columns entitled “A Bed- fordian’s Diary” by the engaging and perennial “Touchstone” . They have appeared, with a few breaks, weekly, in the Bedfordshire Times and Standard since July 1939, and in the Bedfordshire Standard before then, and nearly a thousand have been skimmed. They contain matter about persons and events impossible to find readily elsewhere; and the compiler of this bibliography is infinitely indebted to their recorder. Almost all the citations from BTS, other than obituaries, refer to these articles. And more significant than the facts they contain is their evocative quality. They distil the quintessence o f old Bedford (unknown to most o f its present inhabitants), and so no one writing on Bedford or its vicinity can afford to neglect them.

A C K N O W L E D G E M E N T S

o n e o f the more pleasurable moments in the composition of a work o f this kind is when the author has the opportunity to thank those who have assisted him in its preparation, either with material support or by making available, readily and unselfishly, the fruits of their own researches, and answering innumerable questions with no loss of patience. I shall hold grateful memories of these helpers.

First and foremost, I acknowledge my great debt to the Bedfordshire Historical Record Society, whose funds have made publication possible and whose officers—Mr. F. J. Manning, Mr. C. E. Freeman, and Miss Joyce Godber—proposed the compilation o f the bibliography, gave me virtually a free hand, and retained faith in my efforts.

I thank the custodians of the Bedfordshire libraries with large holdings of local publications for their unstinted pains on my behalf. Mr. G. E. Glazier, the County Librarian, has always been eager to direct me among the vast accumulation of material on The Embankment, Bedford: valuable not only for Bedfordshire items, but for background literature (bibliographies, State Papers, and the like), and advantageous to the student as it includes the Fowler Library, the property o f the B.H.R.S. No less helpful have been the Bedford Borough Librarian and his Deputy, Mr. A. E. Baker. Mr. Cyril Hargreaves, enthusiastic from the first, has given me unrestricted access to his collections and has allowed me to wander at will over the Harpur Street building. Here much Bedfordiana has been disinterred, especially from the recently defunct Old Library of admirable memory. This material, then scattered, has since been concentrated in the Bedford Room. At Luton Museum and Art Gallery I have benefited from the wide knowledge and sound judgement o f Mr. C. E. Freeman, who has given many hours to this project, not only by going through with me his voluminous card-index of Bedfordshire titles (which contains also the Bedfordiana collected and presented by Mr. T. W . Bagshawe), but by taking over the lion’s share of the preparation of the book for the press. At the County Record Office, although its collection comprises mostly unpublished matter, I have spent many profitable hours, for the County Archivist and her assistants, Miss Patricia Bell and Mr. A. F. Cirket, have been valuable sources o f information. To Miss Godber in particular I am indebted for continued staunch support.

I owe many thanks also to the assistants in the reference departments of the libraries in Bedford: Mr. Andrew Jackson at the Borough Library, Miss G. Walmesley and Miss Joan Parr at the County Library. These have fetched and carried and endured countless questions for many months with unfailing patience, at the same time taking a genuine interest in the progress of the research.

I am immeasurably obliged to a number o f experts in various fields, some o f these very wide indeed. Mr. G. D. Gilmore, at Bedford Town Hall, has on many occasions permitted me to examine his fine collection of books and pamphlets, and I have never left him without extending my knowledge and receiving mental stimulation. Mr. H. G. Tibbutt, to whom acknowledgement is so frequently made in the prefatory pages o f books with a Bedfordshire bearing, must receive here another tribute. He has taken a personal interest in the present work from its beginning and has gone out of his way to supply new material, not only from the store of his own knowledge but from the great Free Church libraries in London, thus saving me many laborious hours. He has generously put very full MS. notes at my disposal, as has Mr. Geoffrey Webb, the specialist in Bedfordshire railways and newspapers. Mr. Webb’s correspondence with me on these topics would o f itself fill a considerable pamphlet, and he has allowed me to use unpublished results of his researches, at the same time investigating some local newspapers on my behalf at the British Museum Newspaper Library, Colindale. Mr. R. W . Bagshawe o f Little Gaddesden has been equally kind, enabling me to consult his books on Bedfordshire communications and transport and his vast card-index of bibliographical items, with special stress on the Roman roads. I beg all these authorities to accept my warmest thanks for their co-operation.

I am most grateful to Mr. Harry Newman of Stagsden, who has amassed an impressive collection of Bedfordiana, including some extraordinary and often unique items. I have been able to examine these and to borrow (for prolonged use at home) a number of vital, and often rare, volumes. Thus many unsuspected titles could be added to this list. Furthermore, Mr. Newman has apprised me o f his new discoveries, very often being good enough to bring them to me for my inspection.

I I

I appreciate the assistance given by other libraries, as well as by schools and newspapers, by making their printed collections available to me and by their courteous response to my inquiries. My thanks go to the staff at the British Museum Reading Room, the University Library, Cambridge (especially those in the Anderson and Periodical Rooms), the Seeley Historical Library, the Squire Legal Library, and the Balfour Library (all three at Cambridge); to the Buckinghamshire County Librarian; to the Borough Librarians o f Luton, Northampton, and Hastings; to the Harveian Librarian at the Royal College of Physicians of London; to the Curator o f the Norris Museum, St. Ives, Hunts. Also to the Heads o f Bedford School, Bedford Modern School, and Bedford High School, for permission to consult their libraries; to the Reverend Mother Superior of the Convent of the Holy Ghost School, Bedford, and the Heads o f Hawnes School, the Cedars School, Leighton Buzzard, and the Secondary Grammar Schools at Luton, Dunstable, and Biggleswade, for information about their magazines. Similar thanks go to the Editors of the Bedfordshire Times and Bedfordshire Standard and the Luton News: to the former for the use of the library and the fdes; to the latter for the projection of microfilms o f early issues o f the paper. Some other newspapers were made available in this manner at the Luton Public Library. Kelly’s Directories Ltd. and the Queries Editors of The Field and The Studio were good enough to make some researches for me.

A number of individuals, some o f them associated with institutions mentioned above, have helped to a greater or lesser degree according to the nature of the request, but my indebtedness to all is very real. Apologies are made in advance to any persons who have been inadvertently omitted; and it should be pointed out here that I must be held responsible for any errors which doubtless occur (in spite of strenuous efforts to eliminate them) in the following pages. I thank: Mr. Peter Aldridge o f the County Secondary Modern School (formerly Beaudesert School), Leighton Buzzard; Mr. Bruce A. Bailey of Northampton (with respect to Bedfordshire church sculpture); Mr. E. H. Bull of Bedford School (for many kindnesses); Mr. J. Anthony Byers (of Electrolux Ltd.); Mr. Christopher C. Carter (“Touchstone” of the Bedfordshire Times); Mr. F. Clarke (O.B.M. material); Mr. C. W . Cleverdon, librarian at the College of Aeronautics, Cranfield; Mr. E. J. Cooper of Bedford Modem School, for help with The Eagle which he edits; Mrs. Mary C. Dickey, librarian at Bedford High School; Mr. J. F. Dyer (for his generosity in allowing me to use his card-index of archaeological items); Lt.-Col. E. G. Fanning, m .c. (for a most rewarding talk about the former Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire Regiment and its records); Mr. R. A. Gibbs, Joint Governing Director, Home Counties Newspapers Ltd.; Mr. H. Goslin at the Bedfordshire Times library; Miss Margaret Greenshields, Curator of the Cecil Higgins Museum, Bedford; Mr. Victor Hatley, formerly on the staff of Northampton Central Public Library (for suggesting several profitable lines o f research and keeping me in touch with his own relevant “finds”); Mr. W . Haylock; my old pupil Mr. J. W . Jolliffe of the Department of Printed Books, British Museum (for preliminary guidance); Mr. F. W . Kuhlicke, Curator of the Bedford (formerly the Bedford Modern School) Museum; Mr. C. D. Linnell; Mrs. H. Long of Dame Alice Harpur School; the late Dr. Catherine Maclean (for answering queries about Mark Rutherford); Mr. M. B. Marr (of Vauxhall Motors Ltd.); Mr. S. S. Metz; Mr. T. C. Reeve o f Bedford Modern School; Miss Ross (Luton Public Library reference room); Mr. C. M. E. Seaman, Head Master o f Christ’s Hospital (for information about John Moore); Mr. D. H. Shaw; Sir Ronald Stewart, Bt. (for material concerning the London Brick Co. and its founders); Lt.-Col. H. O. Sutherland (O.B. publications); Mrs. Mary Thomas; Mr. Norman Thorp (Old Elstonians); Mrs. M. F. Thwaite (Hertfordshire newspapers); Mr. P. C. Wagon (Society o f Friends); Mr. F. T. Wells (my mentor at the Bunyan Meeting museum); Mr. Geoffrey H. White, O.b.e., part editor o f The Complete Peerage (for some useful notes passed on to me by my former colleague, Mr. A. A. W right); Flt.-Lt. R. W . Woodgate of the R.A.F. Technical College, Henlow; Mr. James Wooding (Queens Engineering Works); Mr. A. Vere Woodman o f W ing (for some elucidation of the ramifications o f the Duncome family). I also thank the printers, White Crescent Press, for their patience with an often difficult typescript.

In conclusion, I pay tribute to my wife. Together, over thirty years ago we explored the Bedfordshire byways, and together quite recently we have revisited many of the long-remembered places. Day in, day out, for the past twenty months she has been subjected to an ever-present circumambience of bibliography and has not complained. None the less she must now rejoice with me, in the words of the estimable Mr. Pott, sometime Rector o f Northill, that “The strife is o’er, the battle done!”

Note (The Index to The Times)The annual index to The Times was published from 1906-13 in single volumes; thenceforward it appeared as The official index to The Times, at first quarterly, then every two months. It is easy to neglect this invaluable work. Under the appropriate headings (“Bedfordshire”, “Bedford” , “Luton” , etc.) can be found a considerable number o f references to local events, growing in bulk with the years. Prior to 1906 was the Index to The Times published quarterly by Samuel Palmer, and known as “Palmer’s Index” . It is understandably not so full as the current compilation. These publications are available in the BM. reading room and are supplied on request at U.

d. RailwaysGeneral

W . Austin’s History of Luton (see B23), T. A. B lyth’s History o f Bedford, and J. H amson’s Bedford town and townsmen (see B21), hi particular the last, contain a large amount of railway information o f varying merit. Their indexes should be consulted. O f primary importance in the way o f printed sources is the material that crowds the pages o f the Bedford Mercury and the Bedford Times in the 1840’s and 50’s, comprising notices o f application by companies for parliamentary bills to make, maintain, and extend their railroads, as well as topical articles and editorial comment. See, in particular: Opening of the L. and N.W.R. [at Bedford], Excursion trip to Bletchley. BT, B.Mercury 21 Nov. 1846. The M.R. station, Bedford. [“The grandest public work ever carried out in Bedford” .] BT, B.Mercury 29 Jan., 5 Feb. 1859.There is wide background reading, with references to the lines passing through Bedfordshire, in the many English railway histories, which vary considerably in merit, from the mid-19th century to 1959, with the impressive but undocumented An historical geography of the railways of the British Isles, by Ernest C arter. The compiler is much indebted to Geoffrey Webb for most o f the material that follows. B. for Carter.

Bedfordshire has been published separately since about the turn of the century until 1936, but the firm of Kelly cannot supply the exact date. Most of these can be seen in the local libraries. Each town and village, as well as the county in general, is preceded by descriptive matter of a compact and comprehensive nature, with a reasonable standard o f accuracy considering the amount of factual information supplied.

b. AlmanacsNote. A number of these annuals, for towns as well as for the county, and sometimes containing a directory, appeared during the latter part of the last century and at the beginning o f this. They were produced by newspapers and booksellers for a few pence, at times even, as an advertisement, gratis. The absence o f complete sets has made it impossible to trace the course of existence o f more than a few of these.

The Bedfordshire Times almanac, later the Bedfordshire almanack and county handbook. 1876-86. Most of these contain interesting matter in the form of biographical notes on leading county residents and information on county institutions. Copies in B are thickly annotated by Edw in R ansom, the probable editor of the early numbers.

Bedfordshire Herald almanac and handbook.1879 is described as “its 16th year” , and so there must have been an earlier sponsor as the Herald did not commence until June 1877. This almanac seems to have ended in 1887, when the Herald was absorbed by the Luton Times.

13. HISTORY, ARCHAEOLOGY, RECORDSNote: A number o f works, including some o f the classics of Bedfordshire books, might very well be listed here, but they are retained in the topographical sections, either because their subject-matter is more comprehensive than the purely historical, or because their titles direct them to a local classification even though sometimes their contents range beyond the limits of a single place or district. In the first category would come works by the following authors: C amden, with his later translators, revisers and imitators; Fuller; O liver St . J ohn C ooper; Britton and B rayley; the brothers Lysons (in particular); and possibly P arry. In the second group are the massive History o f the hundred o f Willey by FIarvey; W orthington Smith’s Dunstable, which strays pleasantly into the fields of palaeontology, natural history, folklore, and so on, beyond even the “surroundings” o f the borough; C obbe’s Luton Church, with appendices containing much extra material, c.g., Early history o f Bedfordshire, App. F(a), pp. 386-405; W ard Petley’s Flitwick; the first volume and the appendices of Austin’s Luton; and “Ouse’s silent tide” , if one discounts Farrar’s imaginative flights. In addition, the much-read county books o f this century (by M acklin, M ee, M eynell, and Vera Brittain) contain a good deal o f history, second-hand, but attractively presented. Perhaps the most compact and scholarly is G ore C hambers’s volume of 1917, which came out in a geographical series. There are some who consider that a fully satisfying, up-to-date single volume history or history-aiw-topography of Bedfordshire has not yet been written. The recent (1960) Local history in Bedfordshire: a handbook of guidance . . . (see INTRODUCTION) provides a stimulating approach, and F. W . K uhlicke’s two articles in B.Mag. (post) offer a useful conspectus of past researches and publications, not slavishly circumscribed in subject by the wording o f the title (“Recording Bedfordshire Archaeology”).

The three are bound together. All were addressed to the deputy lieutenants of the county of Bedford. In the form of a memorial (26 Sept. 1782) to the colonel of the Beds, militia, the Earl o f Upper Ossory (also lord lieutenant), Field and Willaume accused Major Francis Moore, paymaster of the regiment (at the same time O.C.—apparently contrary to the law) o f falsifying muster rolls, paying recruits short, and (reminiscent of Falstaff!) not applying discharge money to substitutes. After some delaying tactics by Lord Upper Ossory events took their course. The captains were confined to quarters for disobeying the colonel’s summons; they were not allowed to modify the memorial; the major was vindicated by the other officers o f the regiment; the memorialists resigned their commissions. In due course Moore was promoted lt.-colonel, and in 1795 he succeeded Lord Upper Ossory as colonel o f the Beds, militia.

Note: Even with the able assistance o f Geoffrey Webb, who of course is not responsible for any errors and misjudgments in the above, it has been found impossible to produce a fully trustworthy account of Bedfordshire newspapers. It is hoped that corrections and additions will be reported by knowledgeable readers.

Note: It has been found imperative to exclude, with very few exceptions, from the above list year books and annual reports of clubs and cultural and recreational bodies, as well as most commercial, professional and administrative publications o f a similar nature. Likewise no count has been made of church magazines, excellent though some are at present as they have been in the past. The development o f secondary modern and technical schools in the last decade has brought with it the appearance o f a number o f school magazines, usually reproduced from typewriting, but o f high literary and artistic merit. W e can name here only those—and they may not necessarily be the best—which have copies deposited at local libraries. At R .: Yeoman (Etonbury County Secondary School, Arlesey), 1955 ff; at M .: The Bluejacket (Denbigh Road Secondary Modern School, Luton), 1957 ff; The Shell (Luton Secondary Technical School), 1946/47 if. It is rather regrettable that the older schools do not regularly entrust copies o f their magazines to the major libraries for future reference.

No account can be given here of the year books, annual reports, special programmes, etc., circulated by the countless sporting clubs of the county. Some o f these publications go back many years and are both substantial and informative; but, as with school magazines and the periodicals of industrial firms, they are found, in complete sets, only at the headquarters of the club or association they concern.

B. PLACES

N O T Et h e r efe r e n c es in this division are confined to the subjects indicated by the sub-headings of the next three sections, comprising the boroughs. The same limitation applies to B24, which embraces the remaining towns and villages and is not subdivided within the individual places, as there is so much less material pertaining to them. As a rule, items to do with archaeology, secular architecture, the religious houses, churches and ecclesiastical history in general, and the furnishing and embellishment of places of worship, are assigned to earlier sections appropriate to them. So also are those with a general county implication, such as administration (but not schools, which seem to be more bound up with particular localities), agriculture, animal and plant life, geology, history, and so on. Biographical citations must be sought in the next division (C), but the published parish registers (see A13d) are repeated under the separate parishes as many o f them contain concise informative introductions. The later volumes typed at the B.R.O. are so labelled. The literature concerning inns and markets is somewhat cavalierly lumped in A6d; and the same section A6 is made to cover references to any sort of business or occupation practised for a livelihood, except agriculture, even though it is confined to a single locality. A large number o f cross- references should assist the inquirer, but absolute completeness is not guaranteed.

The abbreviations required only in this division may be conveniently repeated at this point. They are:B.S.B. Bedfordshire Sketch-Book: the drawings and descriptions by B ernard W est that have

appeared in B.Mag. since its first number.R.C. Round the County: the series of 180 articles on Bedfordshire villages contributed to

B T I by Arthur Ransom (see C25b) from 1899-1909. (For this and the following, see A19.)

R.C.(2) The series of 1929-30, by another hand.W.A. The signature used by J ohn M artin (see C25b), and standing for W oburn Abbey,

where he was librarian, for his 112 articles: “Bedfordshire Churches” . These appeared in the Northampton Mercury, with some interruptions, from 14June 1845 to 13 Nov. 1847, and then, after a longer interval, from 10 April 1852 to 19 Feb. 1853. They were also printed, at first unnumbered, in the Bedford Times, beginning with St. Paul’s church, Bedford (No. 29 o f the Northampton series), on 10 Oct. 1846, and continuing, usually a week behind the Mercury, till 13 Nov. 1847 (No. 76) and 25 Feb. 1853 (No. 112). (It is understood that the full “run” is being prepared in a convenient form at Northampton Public Library.)

W .H. Willey Hundred: a shortening o f the title o f W . M. H arvey’s well-known work (B24b post). Page references are given to this.

Newspaper citations are given as before. It has not been thought necessary to repeat the titles o f the journals in which the articles R.C., R.C.(2), and W.A. occurred, as this information is clearly stated above.

In conclusion, attention is drawn to the note in A7a concerning the useful miscellaneous matter contained in the introductory sections o f Kelly’s county directories (1847-1940).

Other issues of the above cannot be traced. Most of the leading booksellers of Bedford published similar annuals at some time or other. See Note to A7b. Those in which B lyth had a hand are difficult to discriminate. The list of his publications in W ho was who, 1897-1915, gives: Burt’s Bedford directory and history of the churches ofBunyan, Howard and Wesley; The Bedford directory and almanac (both 1866) ; Carter’s Directory and history o f the ancient parish churches of Bedford, 1869. These seem like réchauffés of the same compilation.

K elly’s directory of Bedford and neighbourhood. 1947 ff. (6th ed., 1959). This incorporated the Bedford and district directory (Sidney Press, Bedford, 1926-39, annually). Previously there was the Bedford directory (B T I, from 1884, annually). B. has a large number of these, but not from 1929-1935.

(1) The main dictionary (1885-1900), now publ. in 22 vol. O.U.P.Still indispensable, but many of the lives (especially those of mediaeval persons) require considerable revision to meet the demands of modern scholarship. Some corrigenda have appeared in the Bulletin o f the Institute of Historical Research and are in BM. and U.

(2) The twentieth century DNB. 5 supplements: 1901-11, 1912-21, 1922-30, 1931-40, 1941-50. Various editors.

(3) The concise DNB. [A convenient single vol. epitome, but very few corrections have been made.]

Often worth consulting, especially in its later form.Modern English biography: many thousands of concise memoirs of persons who have died since

the year 1850. By Frederic B oase. 3 vol. Truro, 1892, 1897, 1900. Three supplements, 1908, 1912, 1921, do not take the obituaries beyond 1900. (Only 250 copies publ.) (Cited as B oase.)

BM. U.Useful for persons who just failed to obtain inclusion in DNB, but an examination of a privately annotated copy (in Hastings public library) and some personal checking reveal that the undocumented entries should be accepted with caution.

W ho was who. 4 vol. 1897-1915, 1916-28, 1929-40, 1941-50. In all public libraries. Men of the time (1872-84) is not so readily accessible. BM. U.

The Athenae was superseded by the monumental volumes of J ohn and J. A. Venn : Alumni Cantabrigienses, pt. 1 (to 1751), 4 vol., Cambridge, 1922-27; pt. 2 (1752-1900), 6 vol., Cambridge, 1940-54. C.

According to J. H olden M acmichael, G.M., Oct. 1904, p. 402, he did not introduce the chair but popularized it. He also was concerned with a medicinal powder (Evelyn’s Diary, under 1635: “Sir Sander Duncombe had tried his celebrated and famous powder”). Furthermore, J. E. H arting in his Extinct British animals, 1880, p. 28, mentions a grant made to a Sir Saunders Duncombe of “the practice and profit of the fighting .. . of beasts” (in England for 14 years). But the date given (11 Oct. 1561), if correct, makes identification with the Sir Saunders Duncombe of 1635 impossible. Unfortunately, contrary to his custom, H arting gives no source.

W illiam (1646—?), grandson o f Sir Edward, was M.P. co. Bedford (1688-9,1695-8), ambassador to Sweden (1690-2), and a lord justice for Ireland.

(DNB gives Bedfordshire as a possible birthplace of Sir Charles Duncombe, d. 1711, a goldsmith and “financier” , who became the richest commoner in England, was el. lord mayor o f London in 1708, and bought at a record price the great property o f Helmsley in the North Riding; but he cannot be linked with the above family.)

BIOGRAPHYC25b(M) C25b(M)W illiam Marshal (1190-1231), 2nd earl o f Pembroke and Strigoil, one o f the 25 executors of

Magna Carta, justiciar of Ireland (1224-26), lord o f the manor o f Luton. He was the son of William (d. 1219), crusader and Templar, who became an earl (by his marriage with the heiress of Pembroke and Strigoil), hereditary marshal of England, and at the death of King John (1216) regent, and owned vast estates in England, Wales, Ireland and Normandy. The manor of Luton came to the younger William by his marriage with the heiress (d. 1216) o f Baldwin de Bethune, earl o f Albemarle, a Norman who had been granted the royal manor by Richard I in 1190. For a period in the hands of Falk de Breauté (q.v), it was re-granted by Henry III to Pembroke on his marriage with the king’s sister Eleanor (1224). After his death s.p. the family honours and estates passed in turn to William’s four brothers (all without male heirs), the youngest being Anselm (d. 1245), 6th and last earl of Pembroke. Through his five daughters and their descendants the Luton estates passed by involved devolution until they came to W enlock (q.v.). (See J. H. B lundell, in W .

CB 5: 81-3, 1906, and other authorities do not accept the assumption of the baronetcy by either of the two parties after 1801, as they find no legal proof o f the legitimacy o f the children o f Sir Gillies Payne,2ndbt.,(1720-1801).His eldest son John (c. 1754—1803), to whom were devised the English estates, including Tempsford manor (sold in 1830), assumed the title, as did his descendants to Philip M onoux Payne (1858-1935), d.s.p.m. (see B TI 6 Dec. 1935). In 1826 Peter Payne, post, 2nd surviving son of Sir Gillies, claimed to be the eldest legitimate son, submitting that a legal marriage had taken place since the birth of the elder children. Although no unimpeachable proof of this was forthcoming, a master in Chancery found for the claimant (June 1828), but this was reversed by the lord chancellor in Jan. 1829. Pe ter Payne, however, assumed the baronetcy de jure, and his heirs followed suit until c. 1900, when the title was discarded. Thus for some years there were two Payne “baronets” in Bedfordshire: one at W ootton House (acquired by John Payne’s marriage with a Monoux) and one at Blunham House (the home of the junior branch). The following publications resulted from the contention:

The last two of these sketch the early history of the family. From the marriage o f Sir Oliver St. John with Margaret, sister and sole heiress of the 4th baron Beauchamp, came the manors of Bletsoe and Lydiard Tregoze (Wiltshire). Their great grandson, Sir O liver S t.Jo h n (d. 1582), cr. baron St.John o f Bletso (sic), inherited the Bedfordshire estates, and the barony of Beauchamp passed to the daughter of his eldest son John , the 2nd baron, who d. s.p.m. in 1596. The latter’s brother and nephew succeeded as 3rd and 4th barons, the second, O liver (d. 1646), being cr. earl of Bolmgbroke (1624, extinct 1711). He had acquired Melchboume, long the family seat, was M.P. co. Bedford (1588-1618) and Parliamentarian lord It. (1643-6). DNB (A. F. P ollard). His eldest son O liver (1603-42), K.B., M.P. co. Bedford (1625-26, 1628-29) was killed at Edgehill, fighting for the Parliament, although the previous year he had been summoned to the Lords by the king as Lord St. John. (For this reason CP, confirmed by G. H. W hite in litt., 1959, regards him as 5th baron although his father outlived him, and the numbers of subsequent barons are in that work one in advance of those accepted elsewhere.)

The two St. Johns best known in English history had only slight associations with Bcd- forshire.

The other, incidentally the grandson o f the chief justice’s daughter, was the statesman and political thinker, Henry St.John (1678-1751), viscount Bolingbroke, a member o f the junior (Lydiard Tregoze) branch o f the family.
