EDGE HILL: THE BATTLE AND BATTLEFIELD.
WITH Notes on Banbury & Thereabout.
BY EDWIN A. WALFORD, F.G.S.
Banbury: E. A. WALFORD, 71 & 72, HIGH STREET.
London: CASTLE, LAMB & STORR, SALISBURY SQUARE.
Preface to Edition, 1904.
For the present edition the available material of the last eighteen years has been consulted, but the plans of battle are similar to two of those of my book of 1886. They were then the first series of diagrammatic representations of the fight published, but in no case has this been acknowledged in the many plans of like kind subsequently published. Some new facts and inferences the author hopes may increase the value of the account.
The letters of Captain Nathaniel Fiennes and Captain Kightley, now added, may serve to make the tale a more living one. They are reproduced, by the kind courtesy of the authorities of the Radcliffe Library, Oxford, and the Birmingham Reference Library.
New pages of Notes on Banbury, and an extended bibliography are also given.
EDWIN A. WALFORD.
Preface to First Edition.
The "Notes on Banbury and Thereabouts" are in part reproduced from a small pamphlet published in 1879. Much of the detail relating to the older buildings has been derived from Skelton's "Antiquities of Oxfordshire" and Parker's descriptions in Beesley's History.
