William of Worcester's Chronicle of England
William of Worcester, born around 1415, and died around 1482 was secretary to John Fastolf, the renowned soldier of the Hundred Years War, during which time he collected documents, letters, and wrote a record of events. Following their return to England in 1440 William was witness to major events. Twice in his chronicle he uses the first person: 1. when writing about the murder of Thomas, 7th Baron Scales, in 1460, he writes '… and I saw him lying naked in the cemetery near the porch of the church of St. Mary Overie in Southwark …' and 2. describing King Edward IV's entry into London in 1461 he writes '… proclaimed that all the people themselves were to recognize and acknowledge Edward as king. I was present and heard this, and immediately went down with them into the city'. William’s Chronicle is rich in detail. It is the source of much information about the Wars of the Roses, including the term 'Diabolical Marriage' to describe the marriage of Queen Elizabeth Woodville’s brother John’s marriage to Katherine, Dowager Duchess of Norfolk, he aged twenty, she sixty-five or more, and the story about a paper crown being placed in mockery on the severed head of Richard, 3rd Duke of York.

Anne Boleyn. Her Life as told by Lancelot de Carle's 1536 Letter.
In 1536, two weeks after the execution of Anne Boleyn, her brother George and four others, Lancelot du Carle, wrote an extraordinary letter that described Anne's life, and her trial and execution, to which he was a witness. This book presents a new translation of that letter, with additional material from other contemporary sources such as Letters, Hall's and Wriothesley's Chronicles, the pamphlets of Wynkyn the Worde, the Memorial of George Constantyne, the Portuguese Letter and the Baga de Secrets, all of which are provided in Appendices.

Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke
Baker was a secular clerk from Swinbroke, now Swinbrook, an Oxfordshire village two miles east of Burford. His Chronicle describes the events of the period 1303-1356: Gaveston, Bannockburn, Boroughbridge, the murder of King Edward II, the Scottish Wars, Sluys, Crécy, the Black Death, Winchelsea and Poitiers. To quote Herbert Bruce 'it possesses a vigorous and characteristic style, and its value for particular events between 1303 and 1356 has been recognised by its editor and by subsequent writers'. The book provides remarkable detail about the events it describes. Baker's text has been augmented with hundreds of notes, including extracts from other contemporary chronicles, such as the Annales Londonienses, Annales Paulini, Murimuth, Lanercost, Avesbury, Guisborough and Froissart to enrich the reader's understanding. The translation takes as its source the 'Chronicon Galfridi le Baker de Swynebroke' published in 1889, edited by Edward Maunde Thompson.

The cremation pit 3136 for the upright vessel (a Collared Urn) is 0.53m in diameter and 0.22m deep. The samples come from fill 3139 of the vessel. No other archaeological features touch the cremation pit. The rim and collar of the cremation vessel are no longer present, due to truncation to a depth of 0.3m by modern ploughing. The contents of the cremation urn were excavated in 2.5m spits (labelled A (bottom) to E (top)). The bone and Charcoal samples come from near the top and bottom of the vessel (spit D and A) respectively. The pit cuts a glacio-fluvial deposit of acidic sand and gravel and is sealed by 0.3m of sandy ploughsoil. The watertable was c 1m below the base of the cremation pit.

Report: St Osyth Lodge Farm. Charcoal; two pieces of charcoal and two pieces of cremated bone from early Bronze Age urned cremation 3914, to south-east of pond barrow 3890. The cremation pit 3914 for the inverted urn is 0.6m long, 0.48m wide, and 0.4m deep. The samples come from the fill (3917=10190) of the vessel, which is a large Collared Urn. No other archaeological features touch the cremation pit. The Collared Urn is complete, although modern ploughing has truncated the cremation pit by 0.3m. The contents of the Collared Urn were excavated in 4cm spits (labelled from A (bottom) to I (rim)). The samples of bone and Charcoal come from near the rim (spits G and I respectively) of the upside-down vessel. The pit cuts a glacio-fluvial deposit of acidic sand and gravel and is sealed by 0.3m of sandy ploughsoil. The watertable was c 1m below the base of the cremation pit.

The cremation pit 3136 for the upright vessel (a Collared Urn) is 0.53m in diameter and 0.22m deep. The samples come from fill 3139 of the vessel. No other archaeological features touch the cremation pit. The rim and collar of the cremation vessel are no longer present, due to truncation to a depth of 0.3m by modern ploughing. The contents of the cremation urn were excavated in 2.5m spits (labelled A (bottom) to E (top)). The bone and Charcoal samples come from near the top and bottom of the vessel (spit D and A) respectively. The pit cuts a glacio-fluvial deposit of acidic sand and gravel and is sealed by 0.3m of sandy ploughsoil. The watertable was c 1m below the base of the cremation pit.

Report: St Osyth Lodge Farm. Human bone; long bone; two pieces of Charcoal and two pieces of cremated bone from early Bronze Age urned cremation 3914, to south-east of pond barrow 3890. The cremation pit 3914 for the inverted urn is 0.6m long, 0.48m wide, and 0.4m deep. The samples come from the fill (3917=10190) of the vessel, which is a large collared urn. No other archaeological features touch the cremation pit. The Collared Urn is complete, although modern ploughing has truncated the cremation pit by 0.3m. The contents of the Collared Urn were excavated in 4cm spits (labelled from A (bottom) to I (rim)). The samples of bone and Charcoal come from near the rim (spits G and I respectively) of the upside-down vessel. The pit cuts a glacio-fluvial deposit of acidic sand and gravel and is sealed by 0.3m of sandy ploughsoil. The watertable was c 1m below the base of the cremation pit.

Chronicle of Geoffrey le Baker of Swinbroke
Baker was a secular clerk from Swinbroke, now Swinbrook, an Oxfordshire village two miles east of Burford. His Chronicle describes the events of the period 1303-1356: Gaveston, Bannockburn, Boroughbridge, the murder of King Edward II, the Scottish Wars, Sluys, Crécy, the Black Death, Winchelsea and Poitiers. To quote Herbert Bruce 'it possesses a vigorous and characteristic style, and its value for particular events between 1303 and 1356 has been recognised by its editor and by subsequent writers'. The book provides remarkable detail about the events it describes. Baker's text has been augmented with hundreds of notes, including extracts from other contemporary chronicles, such as the Annales Londonienses, Annales Paulini, Murimuth, Lanercost, Avesbury, Guisborough and Froissart to enrich the reader's understanding. The translation takes as its source the 'Chronicon Galfridi le Baker de Swynebroke' published in 1889, edited by Edward Maunde Thompson.

Report: Charcoal, id as including Calluna sp, Quercus sp and Leguminosae spp (C R Cartwright), from miniature cairn F2 outside kerb on axis of SE quadrant of barrow 2 at Davidstow Moor, Cornwall, England. Subm P Christie (1984). Comment (subm): 14C dating is sole way of dating barrows more precisely and establishing relationships between them. It is fortunate that charcoal was retained from 1940s excavations. HAR-6635 relates satisfactorily to early Collared Urn tradition.

The excavators suggested the urn had fallen over during interment, spilling the contents. F14 was cut into river terrace gravels, approximately 300m north of the River Wreake. The land on which the site was situated had apparently been cultivated for a considerable length of time prior to the excavation. No other details are known.

This is a translation of the 'Memoires of Jacques du Clercq', published in 1823 in two volumes, edited by Frederic, Baron de Reissenberg. In his introduction Reissenberg writes: 'Jacques du Clercq tells us that he was born in 1424, and that he was a licentiate in law and a counsellor to Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy, in the castellany of Douai, Lille, and Orchies. It appears that he established his residence at Arras. In 1446, he married the daughter of Baldwin de la Lacherie, a gentleman who lived in Lille. We read in the fifth book of his Memoirs that his father, also named Jacques du Clercq, had married a lady of the Le Camelin family, from Compiègne. His ancestors, always attached to the counts of Flanders, had constantly served them, whether in their councils or in their armies.' The Memoires cover a period of nineteen years beginning in in 1448, ending in in 1467. It appears that the author had intended to extend the Memoirs beyond that date; no doubt illness or death prevented him from carrying out this plan. As Reissenberg writes the 'merit of this work lies in the simplicity of its narrative, in its tone of good faith, and in a certain air of frankness which naturally wins the reader’s confidence.' Du Clercq ranges from events of national and international importance, including events of the Wars of the Roses in England, to simple, everyday local events such as marriages, robberies, murders, trials and deaths, including that of his own father in Book 5; one of his last entries.

Anne Boleyn. Her Life as told by Lancelot de Carle's 1536 Letter.
In 1536, two weeks after the execution of Anne Boleyn, her brother George and four others, Lancelot du Carle, wrote an extraordinary letter that described Anne's life, and her trial and execution, to which he was a witness. This book presents a new translation of that letter, with additional material from other contemporary sources such as Letters, Hall's and Wriothesley's Chronicles, the pamphlets of Wynkyn the Worde, the Memorial of George Constantyne, the Portuguese Letter and the Baga de Secrets, all of which are provided in Appendices.

Carbon Date. 380. Late Iron Age Carbon Dates
Report: bone; from context number 14. Stone-lined cist containing a smashed Collared Urn. The site consisted of nine cremations and this one cist. Thus although it contained no charcoal a date for the cist is important in relation to the other urns. Its location, on the top of the natural mound may mean it is the primary burial with the cremations being secondary (chronologically this is). The cist, however, seems to have been subject to some disturbance as the urn was smashed, yet still inside the cist. The capping stone was still on the top of the cist. There can be little doubt that the bone is associated with the cist and the urn.

Wiltshire Archaeological Magazine 1907 V35 Pages 1-20. No. 17. Nine feet almost due south of the skeleton and 1ft. 2in. below the present surface, a vessel of the cinerary urn type was disclosed. It had been crushed into several pieces by the weight of the earth above, and was also slightly damaged by the workman's pick; it has, however, been repaired and is now complete. It stood in an upright position, but with no signs of ashes or of burnt material of any sort inside it, nor was there any sign of an interment, burnt or unburnt, near it1. Immediately beneath it the earth was a little reddened and discoloured as if by fire, and there were a few specks of charcoal; but the traces of fire were slight, and quite local. The vessel might be chosen as typical of a cinerary urn from its general shape and heavy overhanging rim, which latter feature Canon Greenwell [aged 86] says may be regarded as the principal characteristic of this class of urn2. But in spite of its form, as it contained no bones or ashes, one is forced to the conclusion that it may have served the purpose of a food vessel, and that it had probably contained some form of food offering made to the dead at some time subsequent to the burial, and during or after the piling up of the barrow.
Note 1. Canon Greenwell says: "In a few instances a sepulchral vase has occurred in a barrow not in close proximity with any interment," British Barrows, p. 61.
