Présentation de l'éditeur
Purton was being written became known, I received notes and imormation beyond what I had been led to expect was possible. The piecing of it together has helped me to live through the saddest year of my life, and I trust that what I have collected may interest others, and perhaps arouse in them some of the enthusiasm and love for Purton which it has in me. I have quoted freely from several volumes of Wilts Notes and Queries, and from Mr. Ponting sdelightful pamphlet on the Church, which was written for the Wilts A rchceological Magazine. I have also to acknowledge help from the Rev. Edward H. Goddard in allowing me to quote from this magazine, and also for correcting and assisting me in preparing my MSS. for publication. The volumes I have chiefly consulted are Britton s Beauties of Wilts, Aubrey s Wiltshire Collections, The New British Traveller, and an old volume called Parish Laws, published in 1733, and given to me by Mr. H. Dash. I was also fortunate in having had talks with our late Vicar, and from him received valuable notes and newspaper cuttings. My thanks are also due to Mrs. Story-M askelyne, Miss Maud Prower, Mrs. A tkinson, and Miss Walsh, and to Canon Livingstone, Canon Manley, the Rev. R. B. Harrison, Mr. Josiah Haskins, Mr. Wilding and Mr. Frank Kempster. Mr. Lee Osborn assisted me in the Clarendon chapter; and I mast not conclude without my husbands name, who gave me much sympathy and encouragement in my task. E. M. R. March zjth, 1917.
