All About History Books
The Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough, a canon regular of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire, formerly known as The Chronicle of Walter of Hemingburgh, describes the period from 1066 to 1346. Before 1274 the Chronicle is based on other works. Thereafter, the Chronicle is original, and a remarkable source for the events of the time. This book provides a translation of the Chronicle from that date. The Latin source for our translation is the 1849 work edited by Hans Claude Hamilton. Hamilton, in his preface, says: "In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed."

Wiltshire Archaeological Magazine 1857 V4 Pages 307-363. The first person who examined it with attention was John Aubrey, whose memory will long be preserved by his graphic description of persons and things connected with his native county, Wiltshire. As he was only in his 23rd year when he made his discovery of Abury, and as the work in which he has preserved his early reminiscences of it (the "Monumenta Britannica" now in the Bodleian Library), though often partially quoted by various writers, has never yet been fully published; it may not be amiss to take the present opportunity of presenting to the reader the entire passages relating to this place1:—
"I was inclin'd by my Genius from my childhood to the love of antiquities: and my Fate dropt me in a countrey most suitable for such enquiries.
"Salisbury-plaines, and Stonehenge I had known from eight years old: but, I never saw the Countrey about Marleboruogh, till Christmas 1648: being then invited to the Lord Francis Seymour's, by the Honorable Mr. Charles Seymour2, with whom I had the honor to be intimately acquainted, and whose Friendship I ought to mention with a profound respect to his memorie.
