Cromwell St Giles

References

Much of the material used for this entry has been derived from Guy Hemingway’s excellent typescript account A History of Cromwell Village and Church,1972, revised 1976, with further notes 1982. Copies of the different versions can be found in Nottinghamshire Archives, Newark Public Library, and University of Nottingham, Local History Library, as well as in other collections. Hemingway also issued A Short History of Cromwell Village & Church in 1985 (Newark Public Library, L90.2). An engineer by profession, but a life-long, prodigiously active, careful local historian, citing his sources with accuracy and precision, he lived in retirement at his family home The Old Rectory, Cromwell, served as churchwarden from 1967, and died aged 86 in 1986. He left, among much else, a remarkable legacy of local studies of Cromwell and surrounding villages. He drew his material mostly from standard printed sources, with occasional forays into manuscript material in Nottinghamshire Archives and elsewhere, most notably at York. Among sources used to supplement Hemingway, the following can be noted:
