Book Description
Excerpt from Bygone Nottinghamshire In connection with the illustrations I have a pleasing task to perform, in thanking the gentle man to whom this work is dedicated for contributing the panoramic view of F arndon, Stoke, and Nottingham, from a drawing evidently contemporary with and relating to the Battle of Stoke-field, copied by him from the original in the British Museum and in thanking Mr. Robert White, of vvorksop, the northern light Of our local history, for contributing the engraving of the grand Old priory gatehouse Of his town. In performing this office I must not overlook my son, Mr. W. H. Stevenson, the editor of the Records of the Borough of Nottingham, the Calendar of Close Rolls. Ed. II., 1307-1313, etc., to whom I am indebted for the Forest-boundary map of AD 1227, and assistance in revising the proofs.
