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.

On 25th June 1679 John Bernard 2nd Baronet [aged 48] died. There is some confusion over the date since his monument at St Mary Magdalene Church, Brampton [Map] states Jun 1671 although their is a faint 'x' above the last 'i' suggesting an error by the carver. He was buried at St Mary Magdalene Church, Brampton [Map]. His son Robert succeeded 3rd Baronet Bernard of Huntingdon.
Around 1721 [his former wife] Grace Schuckburgh [aged 81] died.
[his son] Robert Bernard 3rd Baronet was born to John Bernard 2nd Baronet and Elizabeth St John. He married in or before 1695 Anne Welden.
