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.

Sussex Artist. Death of Mr A Foord Hughes (deceased)
STUDENT OF WINDMILLS. Sussex art circles have suffered a severe loss by the death of Mr. Arthur Foord Hughes, which occurred in a Hastings nursing home last Friday, at the age of 77. He had been in failing health for some time. Mr. Hughes's delicate watercolours were well known locally. He painted practically everv windmill in Sussex, and it was one of his sorrows that these picturesque landmarks were fast disappearing from the face of the countryside. Within few weeks of his birth in London October 9th. 1856. he sat as an unconscious model for Dante Gabriel Rossetti, though his career almost came to an untimely end soon afterwards when Ruskin prepared to seat himself on the couch where the infant lay! His father was the painter of important works to seen in the Tate Gallery and collections at Birmingham, Bournemouth and Oxford, and was also the original illustrator of "Tom Brown's School Days," for which young Hughes sat, rather reluctantly it is said, as the model of the boy hero.
ACADEMY DISTINCTION. But although he probably resented these temporary curtailments of liberty, the boy made up his mind at an early age to concentrate art as a career. After leaving King's College School, he pursued his artistic education at Heatherleys, the Slade and finally the Royal Academy, where in he gained the silver medal for the best drawing.
His love of Sussex was deeply rooted and for some years he lived in a delightful cottage at Pett, touring the whole county in search of scenes worthy of his brush. Later on he moved with his wife to home of the late Harry Furniss at High Wickham, overlooking Old Hastings. He published a book on Sussex windmills, containing a wealth of interesting information and copiously illustrated with his charming water-colours. Two of his best pictures were The Finding of Leander,' sold at the New Gallery, and "The Gleaner," hung at the Academy.
