Excerpt from History of the Parish Church of Saint Michael and All Angels: Chipping Lambourn The original intention of the compiler of this book had been to issue a complete history of the Hundred of Lambourn, which comprises the parishes of Lambourn and Eastgarston in the county of Berks, and it was with this purpose that he began to collect materials some years ago. Finding, however, these materials far more abundant than he had expected, he determined to change his plan slightly; and, instead of attempting to publish a complete history, to issue first a smaller volume on Lambourn Church, to be followed by similar volumes on the manorial history of Lambourn, and on the church and landowners of Eastgarston. These, again, might be supplemented (though this is a hope which may perhaps never be realized) by the publication in two or more volumes of a complete transcript of the church registers of the two parishes, with notes.
