History of the Manor. THE ANGLO-SAXON CHRONICLE, and other Old English chronicles, should be consulted for possible early mention of the parish.

The Ordnance Survey have recently brought out a fac-simile edition of the Domesday Book, produced by Photo-zincography, which can be obtained in separate counties.
