Excerpt from Mayfield: The Story of an Old Wealdon Village The idea of compiling some account of the past of our village arose from a very small beginning. Our late Vicar, finding I was writing a short sketch of the place for a friend to send with some drawings to an illustrated paper, asked me to contribute something of the sort to our Parish Magazine. This I was pleased to do, and papers on Mayfield's history helped to fill the Magazine during the years 1892 - 5, the Vicar placing many letters and papers in his possession at my disposal, and giving me his cordial co-operation, without which, even so short an account could not have been accom plished. My best thanks are also due to Sir Edward Maunde Thompson, who made extracts from the early registers, looked over the papers in the parish chest, and gave me much valued help and advice. Also to other friends, who searched at the Public Record Office, the British Museum, and elsewhere. Interest grew with the work, and materials increased apace. Much of the informa tion gained would have given too much detail for the pages of a Parish Magazine - hence this little book. N 0 one can be more aware than myself of its many faults, but I trust it only paves the way for a more complete Parish History in the future, written by an abler pen than mine. The illustrations of the Church and Village are from original drawings by Mr. Edgar Barclay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
