The Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke. Baker was a secular clerk from Swinbroke, now Swinbrook, an Oxfordshire village two miles east of Burford. His Chronicle describes the events of the period 1303-1356: Gaveston, Bannockburn, Boroughbridge, the murder of King Edward II, the Scottish Wars, Sluys, Crécy, the Black Death, Winchelsea and Poitiers. To quote Herbert Bruce 'it possesses a vigorous and characteristic style, and its value for particular events between 1303 and 1356 has been recognised by its editor and by subsequent writers'. The book provides remarkable detail about the events it describes. Baker's text has been augmented with hundreds of notes, including extracts from other contemporary chronicles, such as the Annales Londonienses, Annales Paulini, Murimuth, Lanercost, Avesbury, Guisborough and Froissart to enrich the reader's understanding. The translation takes as its source the 'Chronicon Galfridi le Baker de Swynebroke' published in 1889, edited by Edward Maunde Thompson. Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback.

Church of St James the Great, Paulerspury [Map]. Nick Faris. A brief visit yesterday to the Church of St James the great at Paulersbury Northants mainly to see the tomb and wooden effigies of Sir Lawrence de Paveley and his wife, from around 1340 to 1350, though sadly in not such great shape, some restoration work has been done to them and parts are missing, I am sure they were rather splendid in their day and still well worth viewing today.

[his daughter] Elizabeth Throckmorton Baroness Dacre of Gilsland was born to Arthur Throckmorton and Anne Lucas.
