John Lewis Barber, MA, FSA – His Memoir











                           John Lewis Barber,
                           of 9, Tyne Road, Oakham, Rutland

                           and later of 8 Baines Court,
                           South Street, Oakham.



                           These random jottings made in the years following my retirement in
                           1979, for all their incompleteness, may be of use to future historians
                           (as the section on Oakham Castle was to Tim Clough when he wrote
                           his booklet on the subject). I would like it kept in the Rutland County
                           Museum, but would like it to be available to Oakham School and to
                           the Rutland Record Society.





                           Editors’ Notes:

                           The  Rutland  Record  Society  later  merged  with  the  Rutland  Local  History
                           Society and the Rutland Field Research Group for Archaeology & History to
                           become the Rutland Local History & Record Society.

                           Notes,  references  and  illustrations  have  been  supplied  by  the  editors;  any
                           additions to the text are shown in [brackets].

                           The original memoir is believed to be in the possession of JLB’s family.
