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.
