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." Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback.

The River Yare rises around Thuxton, Norfolk [Map] from where it flows past Coston, Norfolk [Map], Brandon Parva, Norfolk [Map], Barnham Broom, Norfolk [Map] after which it is joined by the River Tiffey before flowing past Marlingford, Norfolk [Map], Bawburgh, Norfolk [Map], Bowthorpe, Norfolk [Map], Colney, Norfolk [Map], Earlham Park [Map], Eaton [Map] to Old Lakenham [Map] after which it is joined by the River Wensum. Thereafter it flows past Thorpe St Andrew, Norfolk [Map], SurlIngham, Norfolk [Map], Brundall, Norfolk [Map], Buckenham, Norfolk [Map], Cantley, Norfolk [Map], Reedham, Norfolk [Map] to Berney Arms, Norfolk [Map] after which it is joined by the River Waveney then flows through Great Yarmouth, Norfolk [Map] where it is joined by the River Bure then meets the North Sea at Gorleston on Sea, Norfolk [Map].
Burgh Castle Roman Fort, Norfolk [Map] is a Roman shore fort where the River Waveney meets the River Yare. One of nine constructed around 250AD to hold troops as a defence against Saxon raids up the rivers of the east and south coasts of southern Britain.
It was possibly known as Gariannonum, although the single record, the Notitia Dignitatum, a Roman Army "order of battle", may perhaps be referring to the Roman site at Caister-on-Sea [Map].
