Excerpt from The Story of Stratton Church

When Canon Bone died on December 31, 1917, he left the Ms. of this book in the hands of his brother, Mr. Edward W.Bone. For nineteen years Canon Bone was Vicar of Stratton, and this account of his former church was the diversion of his closing years; so that he speaks both from intimacy and from reflection. In the preparation of the book I had been of some assistance to him, and was responsible for some of the theories advanced, such as the setting-out of the Norman church; and I was accordingly asked by Mr. E. W. Bone to supervise the publication. I have left the narrative as far as possible to speak for itself, correcting only some obvious mistakes and making a few compressions to avoid repetition. In a few instances I have added a note where elucidation seemed desirable or a difference of opinion might exist.

The visitor to the church with but limited time who wishes to use this book as a guide, should turn straight to Chapter V - "The Story of the Fabric." At greater leisure he will find himself well repaid by a perusal of the remaining chapters of local history, based on the records in which Stratton is particularly rich, but which might equally well depict the daily life of many another parish in an epoch which is now more than ever being left behind.

In conclusion I may say that it is proposed to hand over any profits on the sale of this book to the Vicar of Stratton for church purposes. I should like to add a word of thanks to Mrs. E.H. W. Dunkin for permission to reproduce the illustration of the Arundell Brass from her late husband's work on the Monumental Brasses of Cornwall. For the plan of the church I am responsible.
