Kingsclere Parishes

is fortunate in that it was the first county for which a Victoria County
History was produced and remains an invaluable resource for those interested

Volume four, from which this extract is taken, was published in 1911,
and although a good deal of new information has come to light, so far
as I know there are only four points at which revision, as opposed to

within square brackets. None of these is of great moment, but it seemed
worth while to draw attention to them. Many more printed sources are
now available, and where it has been thought useful a reference to these
has been added alongside the original authority. In particular it has
seemed useful to add to references to the Domesday Book, paragraph numbers
from the Phillimore edition edited by Julian Munby, as for instance
[DB, Hants, 69,42].
