Excerpt from A Key to English Antiquities: With Special Reference to the Sheffield and Rotherham District I have endeavoured to distinguish conjecture from fact in this book by the constant use of the words it is supposed or it appears a use so frequent that it may possibly be wearisome to the reader. But nothing is more necessary, in the present state of English archaeology, than carefully to distinguish between facts and conjectures. We shall never have an English archaeology which is worthy of the name of a science until people have ceased to put forth their conjectures as facts, or to accept on the same level as facts the conjectures of even experts in the subject. Though a brief sketch will be found in the Introductory Chapter of the more important historical characters whose names are associated with this neighbourhood, it has not been my intention to write a history of the district, but to describe and explain the concrete remains of the past which are still so richly to be found there. And in order to do this adequately, I have thought it necessary to indicate at some length the place which the social and religious institutions represented by Norman castles and monastic houses occupied in the history of civilization in England.
