Excerpt from St. Olave's Priory and Bridge: Herringfleet, Suffolk

In condensing it I trust I have not diminished its inter-est.

I should perhaps explain that I have for some years past been collecting materials for the history of a parish in which I have now resided thirty-seven years, without any intention of' publishing them. These have been typed and inserted in a series of' volumes to which I have given the title of Chronicles of Herringfleet. They are illustrated with maps, plans, and photographs the latter taken by Miss Annie Grant (my niece), also by drawings by my daughter Mrs. W. E. S. Cooper, Gissing Rectory, Norfolk. Both' have afforded me valuable aid.

I have occasionally referred to these volumes (vide Appendix) in this paper more for my own convenience than for explanatory purposes.
