Excerpt from How to Write the History of a Parish: An Outline Guide to Topographical, Records, Manuscripts, and Books
Those Who have been engaged in any literary work are well aware how large a portion of time is often spent in merely learning the titles and somewhat of the contents of those books that treat of the different branches of the subject selected. Various books connected with parochial history, especially those that have been proved by experience to be the best handbooks, are therefore mentioned in these pages to facilitate reference. Space only has prevented me from considerably adding both to their number and description, but any further knowledge that I may have gleaned on topographical literature is heartily at the disposal of any worker who may privately apply to me.

Some of the clergy of the diocese of Lincoln are responsible for the issue of this booklet. A much-needed county history of Lincolnshire is now being projected, upon the basis of separate parochial histories. A circular put forth in one of the rural deaneries was good enough to refer in laudatory terms to the introduction to the first volume of my "Notes on the Churches of Derbyshire." This led to my being asked to republish that introduction; but it applied so peculiarly to Derbyshire that I felt it would be of small avail to those outside the county. Hence I decided to put together some hints that might prove a help to those who may be desirous of undertaking parochial history in any part of the kingdom, whether manorial, ecclesiastical, or both.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book guides those interested in compiling parish histories through methodologies and resources for studying local archives. The author, J. Charles Cox, grounds local history in social and topographical contexts, arguing that through the study of local history we may better understand our present surroundings and traditions. By approaching parish history through the lenses of etymology, archaeology, and social institutions like manors and churches, the author suggests methods for considering how the history of a place has been shaped by its people and rulers over time, from prehistory to the present day. Cox's emphasis on both documentary sources and on-the-ground data collection sets a precedent for a comprehensive approach to the study of local history, ensuring that the resulting record is as full and accurate as possible. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
