Excerpt from The Church Bells of Huntingdonshire: Their Inscriptions, Founders, Uses, Traditions, Etc My prefatory words must be mainly those of acknowledgment. I am much indebted for the loan of wood blocks to Amherst D. Tyssen, D.C.L., and to Mr. Herbert L. North; without these indeed the work could hardly have been published. Also to the Rev. G. E. Sharland, vicar of Easton and Stow Longa, who, on divers occasions entertained me and drove me to various outlying churches, where he also materially aided my researches among the bells themselves. Also to the various incumbents who, whenever asked, have reported, as fully as they could, on the peculiar uses, etc., and have often allowed me to search the Parish Registers and Books; to the Rev. E. Tottenham and Miss A. E. M. Dagnall for skilful help in drawing sketches from casts and rubbings of stamps. The book has been a long time in coming out, but many wood blocks being elsewhere engaged, could not be obtained any sooner, and this represents a delay of six years in the publication. Owing, perhaps, to my being beneficed in this county, and that a small one, I have never had occasion to complain of "no answer," eventually to any letter of enquiry addressed to local authorities.
