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.'

Blick Mead [Map] is a chalkland spring in Wiltshire, near to the River Avon. Excavation since 2005 indicates that there was continuous human habitation from 8000BC to 6000BC. 35,000 worked flints and 2400 animal bones, some cooked, mostly from Bos Longifrons, have been found at the site.
In 2017 a tooth from a domesticated dog was found. The tooth was from around 5000BC, and originally from Yorkshire.
