I N T R O D U C T I O N

t h e purpose of this Supplement is to record information about Bedfordshire that has appeared during the five years (1966-70) following the first Supplement (published 1967), together with earlier material that has come to light from many varied sources. Some widening of latitude has been used in the choice of items for inclusion, especially with regard to typescripts (and even two or three MSS.), often in the form of theses on special local subjects not dealt with elsewhere, and, although existing only as single copies, available at one o f the libraries - usually at the B.R.O. Also one or two unique items o f interest in private hands (W hitworth’s Wilshamstead comes to mind) are included as their owners might permit photo-copies to be made. Unfortunately it has not been possible to admit sales catalogues and parish magazines, whose neglect was deplored by one reviewer o f the original Bibliography. Some of the former are temporarily in store and the latter, occasionally quite useful (the Wilstead paper came from a parish magazine), are very scarce and do not turn up in long runs.

Certain events welcomed by the student of Bedfordshire have taken place in the period under review. First and foremost has been the appearance of a history o f the county ‘fully satisfying’ - to quote the words o f the hope expressed on page 88 o f the Bibliography - and likely to be defini­tive. Acceptable too has been the opening of the vastly enlarged premises of the County Library and Record Office now united in one commodious annexe o f the new County Hall. Here at last is ample room for staff and students, and the addition of the Bagshawe books and papers enhances the value o f material already augmented by the Fowler collection.

To the present compiler, long used to the disposal o f books and pamphlets in the old Embank­ment building, the unfamiliar rearrangement of the stock was at first not an unmixed blessing; but the assistance o f the staff soon eased the situation and the extensive card index o f the County Library’s local collection has been gone through in toto and is the basis o f this Supplement. Equally helpful has been the unremitting co-operation of the reference room staff at the Public Library, where the storage of so much material in preparation for the building o f new premises was another diversion that might have seriously hampered research.

This research has extended the field covered by the previous compilations and has included a selection o f articles in The Ousel, from its beginning in 1876, and o f news cuttings at the B .R .O ., an examination o f the Bagshawe volumes, and an analysis of the neglected Manshead Magazine. Outside the county, at the suggestion o f Mr Tibbutt, the Bedfordshire card index at the Society o f Antiquaries has been closely scrutinized. Many o f its items were checked in archaeological periodicals at Cambridge, where the voluminous reports of the major nineteenth century royal commissions on education were searched for local references, and, at a hint from Mr Underwood, the volumes o f the early Victorian British Magazine (founded by a brother of a rector of Houghton Conquest) were scanned: all this leaving one with the uneasy feeling that still more remains to be done!

A brief glance through this list will reveal how a bibliography must match the pattern of the age. There is a predominance o f (to some) rather soulless articles on ‘development’ in industry, tech­nology, building, traffic problems, with the administration thereof and much publicized con­troversy, planning and more planning - aimed at reconstruction and ‘improvement’, but often entailing in preliminary stages the destruction of much that is old and cherished. Perhaps however, the growth of a line o f study hardly known when this work was first considered - Industrial Archaeology - marking efforts by archaeologists (that increasingly active body) to preserve former industrial sites and structures, i f combined with the aims of Conservation Year 1970, may herald a more heedful policy in the future.

Few o f the technological journals referred to are in the public libraries and so the Bedford Area List of Periodicals (here abbreviated to BALP), drawn up in 1965 by M r Andrew Jackson, formerly o f Bedford Public Library, and later revised by his successor, Mr W . K. A. Child, now at the County Library, is useful in finding their location in the libraries o f firms and institutions. To direct those to whom these collections are not accessible the symbols BM. and/or U. are added to the appropriate entries.

Once more Luton Library and Bedford Library are warmly thanked for their generous con­tributions towards the printing o f this Supplement. Furthermore, these libraries, together with the

7

County Library and Luton Museum and Art Gallery, have through the exertions of assistants advanced the completion of the work. Many thanks are due to the co-operation of the following: Mr A. Threadgill, Mrs Barbara Wilkinson, Mrs K. Dicks, Miss V. Ellis (County), Mr Nicholas Wilde and Miss Aileen Feneley (Bedford), Miss O ’Connor (Luton), and Miss M. J. Calcutt (Luton Museum). They have found books and pamphlets where the stock has become temporarily disorganized through re-housing and a definitive catalogue is not ready for general use, they have checked the location of many items, made lists of recent acquisitions, and replied to written en­quiries. Some have done more than others, but without the aggregate of their efforts the Supple­ment could not have reached its final form.

At Cambridge the usual efficiency of the University library staff has been most helpful, and thanks are extended to the librarian of the Society of Antiquaries, London, as well as to the following tor requested information: the Bedford County Press (Mr E. Pitt, etc.), the Home Counties News­papers (Mr Heritage), the Herts & Beds Express Group, G. Kent Ltd., and the librarians at St Albans, Hertford, Hitchin, Newport Pagnell, Leicester, and Nottingham.

For their response to special enquiries I am grateful to Mr R. J. Able, Major R . Bowen, Mr A. Cox, the late Mr Frank Crompton, the Rev J. W . Faulkner (whose regular gift of The Lock Gate may set an example to other editors!), Mr H. W . Harum, Mr R. L. Hills, Mr Simon Houfe, Mr R. N. Hutchins (Harpur Trust), Lt.-Col. N. G. MacLean, Mr R. Marks, M r C. L. Matthews, Mr R. F. Moore, Mrs Morris (Planning Dept., County Hall), Mr M. M. Rutt, Mr R. W . Turner (for the Langford Diary), Dr E. C. Walker, and Mr R. H. Wildman.

In wider fields the continued help and interest of these is most valued: Mr J. Dyer and Mr David Kennett (archaeology), Mr Geoffrey Webb (railways), Mr H. Newman (for inspection o f his recent acquisitions), M r A. G. Underwood (chiefly Ampthilliana), and, above all, Mr T. W. Bagshawe, Mr G. D. Gilmore, and Mr H. G. Tibbutt.

My final thanks go to my daughter Alison Haymonds for retyping some of my more glaring amateurish efforts, and to the White Crescent Press for their care and accuracy in the production of the printed book.

The periodical continuation of these Supplements by other hands will be governed by circum­stances. At one time it seemed that two bibliographies might be required: one for ‘Administrative Unit 47’ and one for ‘Administrative Unit 49’, if Bedfordshire, as we know it, were to be planned out of existence! But with the recent modification of these excesses the compiler hopes that librar­ians will prepare clear lists of their relevant acquisitions since the conclusion of the latest supplement in order to preclude a re-check o f their whole stock as a new one is prepared, and to make the record of location less selective. This is admirably done at Luton Museum, where the stock is manageably small, and at the Record Office, but there, as printed material is not the primary concern, the list of acquisitions is so long that it is more convenient to go to the shelves and files. Nevertheless, may the Bibliography continue to be brought up to date, with its imperfections repaired, and so be o f use to students, librarians, collectors o f Bedfordiana, and casual inquirers.

Herts, Beds, and Cambs, on 12 March 1859, title changed to Hertfordshire Express and General Advertiser on 15 Oct. 1859. Bedfordshire Express was added in 1871 and, according to the Hertfordshire Express centenary supplement, 11 March 1960, this was published in the 1880s as ‘a separate paper’ from a ‘branch office in Bedford’, but there is no mention o f this office in the Bedford directories. At present the paper appears as the Hertfordshire Express and Bedfordshire Express (the latter in large type on the front page) catering for S. Beds., and the Hertfordshire Express and Hitchin Gazette. Hitchin.

The Hertfordshire Mercury and County Press was established at Hertford as the Reformer and Herts, Beds, Bucks, Essex and Huntingdonshire Advertiser on 25 Nov. 1834, by the firm of Stephen Austin, which had started the Hartford (sic) Mercury on 22 May 1772 (ended before 1825). No copies o f the latter are extant. The Reformer became the Hertford Mercury and Reformer on 6 Jan. 1844, incorporated the County Press in 1857, and took its present title of Hertfordshire Mercury and County Press in Jan. 1872. (From M. F. Thwaitc, The Hert­fordshire newspapers, 1772-1955.)[This must not be confused with the Herts Mercury (and General Advertiser for Beds, Bucks, Cambridge,. . . ) , established 2 July 1825, and from 1826-1832 under the control of the redoubt­able Richard Michaux Muggeridge, after which it was absorbed by the Essex Mercury until the end of that paper in 1843.]

The entry Collections towards the history and antiquities of Bedfordshire (with the misprint ‘Bibliographica’ for Bibliotheca!) requires considerable expansion and elucidation. The account o f Podington alone was by St.John Cooper. The long sections on Luton and Dunstable comprise the following: Church notes taken at Luton in the county of Bedfordshire, by Edward Steele (pp. 11-28); account of Luton, by Francis Blomefield (not ‘Blomfield’ as on p. 29), taken in 1724 and 1734 (pp. 29-42 - said to open a few copies o f his Collectanea Cantabrigiensia, but this is not so in the two, Norwich, 1750, 1751, at Cambridge); notes taken at Luton by M r G ough, 3 May 1776-29 Oct. 1782 (pp. 43-55 - 49 to 55 of these being starred, as, later, the unstarred numbers mark the pages from the account of Luton in T. Pennant’s Journey from Chester, 1782 (pp. 395ff.); pedigree of Napier (pp. 55*-56).Particulars relative to the town and abbey of Dunstaplc (sic), extracted from the Annales dc Dunstaple, published by (T.) H earne, 1733 (pp. 57-162); the priors and priory church, etc., of Dunstaple (pp. 163-206); Collections for Dunstaple in com’ Bedford, 1714, by Edward Steele (pp. 207-34); another extract from Pennant being interpolated on pp. 194-9. In some copies (as at C.) are to be found ‘Additions to Luton and Dunstaple’ (pp. 57*-62*) and ‘Luton Hoo, the seat of the earl of Bute,’ from the General Evening Post, pp. 63*-66* (see B.Bibl. p. 36). Further ‘Additions to Luton and Dunstable’ (pp. 235-8) and ‘Settlements and devises for the endowment o f the charity school at Dunstaple’ (see B.Bibl. p. 164), pp. 239-51, should comprise another part (No. 26) of the four that make the Bedford portion of Bibliotheca . . . vol. 4 (op. cit. p.88).
