All About History Books
The Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough, a canon regular of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire, formerly known as The Chronicle of Walter of Hemingburgh, describes the period from 1066 to 1346. Before 1274 the Chronicle is based on other works. Thereafter, the Chronicle is original, and a remarkable source for the events of the time. This book provides a translation of the Chronicle from that date. The Latin source for our translation is the 1849 work edited by Hans Claude Hamilton. Hamilton, in his preface, says: "In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed."

She was one of twenty-six member of the Auxillary Territorial Service, and two soldiers, who lost their lives by enemy air action on the 11 May 1943 at Sefton House, Great Yarmouth.
The Gorleston Royal Observer Corp post made a sound only report identifying incoming German aircraft about a minute before the attack. The Caister Royal Observer Corp post gave the alarm to Great Yarmouth Police and the crash alarm was sounded just seconds after the first bombs fell. Hostile raid number 497 was a daylight low-level attack by 18 Focke-Wulf FW 190-A's of II/SKG10 ( II. Gruppe, Schnellkampfgeschwader 10), possibly operated from Amsterdam-Schiphol, on the Great Yarmouth area at 08.45 am on 11th May 1943. It was a frontal attack, out of the sun and early morning mist with the raiders following a reverse course to that of an earlier raid on the 7th May. On this raid the Germans crossed the coast just north of the Britannia Pier and flying in a westerly direction attacked the North part of Great Yarmouth before exiting back out over the North Sea in the Winterton area. A squad of about 30 ATS girls had been exercising that morning and had just marched back to their billet when it received a direct hit from a high explosive (HE) bomb. In total 14 x 500 kg. HE bombs fell in various scattered residential areas in the north of the town. Some of the bombs bounced over the ground due to the low-level of their release. There was widespread destruction from bombs and cannon-fire, with the final death toll being 49 people killed and 41 injured. This was the worst air raid Great Yarmouth endured during the Second World War. As the German aircraft were heading home, four North American Mustang Mk 1's from 613 (City of Manchester) Sqn. had just taken off from RAF Coltishall on an armed "Lagoon" reconnaissance sortie over the Dutch coast. The Mustangs were vectored onto the fleeing FW 190's and pursued them out to sea at low-level, F/O Townsend managing to shoot one down, confirmed in German records. The Burlington Palm Court Hotel now stands on the sight of Sefton House and the memorial was unveiled on the 11th May 1994 by Lady Soames DBE. The Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS) was the women's branch of the British Army during the Second World War. It was formed on the 9th September 1938, initially as a women's voluntary service, and existed until 1st. February 1949 when it was merged into the Women's Royal Army Corps.
