Excerpt from The History of Wincanton, Somerset: From the Earliest Times to the Year 1903
In the folIowing pages will be found a very large number of facts concerning those who have lived in Wincanton, or been in some way connected with it, during many centuries. Most of the principal characters have lived humdrum lives, apart from the great world of thought and action. Wincanton has been, and is, no doubt, a place typical of thousands of other places in the kingdom of King Edward the Seventh; but the writer remembers that of the history of such places the greater history of the United Kingdom is made up. No doubt that there are here inelegancies of expression, and, what is worse, inaccuracies as to the facts. As it is, however, being the writers best effort, it must abide the verdict of public opinion, in common with much greater attempts. It has one negative virtue at least, "Naught is set down in malice."
