Summary
IT has not been possible to mention in the text or the footnotes all the references to the Charters edited by Professor Maitland and Miss Mary Bateson; to the Annals compiled by Mr C. H. Cooper, formerly Town Clerk; to the works of Mr J. W. Clark (including the Clark collection of papers in the University Library); and to the valuable publications of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society. Access to the Minutes of the Cambridge Improved Industrial Dwellings Co. (Chap, viii) was obtained by the courtesy of the late Mr A. B. Chater, Secretary to the Company, and permission to incorporate (Chap, iii) an article on the ‘ Origin and Early Years of Orlando Gibbons’, which appeared in the Monthly Musical Record, October 1936, has been kindly granted by Messrs Augener Ltd.
I am further indebted to many friends for assistance in various ways. Special thanks are due to Mr J. H. Bullock, a life-long student of Cambridge history and topography, to Dr Helen Cam, and to the Town Clerks of the Boroughs mentioned.
