King James Bible (1611. Mine was published by Collins, and given to me for Christmas in 1965, when I was seven, by my darling Aunty Joyce. In the 4000+ library that I struggle to stay on top of it, it is number 0001, the first thing I still have. I also used her Book of Common Prayer (1662), which I inherited on her death. It was given to her when she retired from service in 1969 by her employer, Sir Harold Scott, previously Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police. She had been his housekeeper for over 20 years).

Journals.
Because I work outside the ‘academy’, and was banned from sitting in academic libraries by COVID-19, it was difficult to get access to journals. These were smuggled out from behind the Jstor paywall by one of the dedicatees, except for the Craig Muldrew paper, which he kindly sent me himself. The Turner Diary extracts I’d copied myself before the first lockdown.

This is a quick overview of the internet resources that I used. The notes are a bit cursory, but I’ll revisit them over the next few days and week; some sites ’embed’, and some don’t, but everything is pretty much here.
The problem with sharing links in this way is that they break over time, as I’ve learned from ‘A Hero For High Times’. But I, or the inestimable Paul ‘Perry Venus’ Williams, will drop by now and then to see if they still work.
The main website we used for the family tree was
Academics moan about Wikipedia, but I don’t know why. It’s not authorative, of course, but it’s very often a good place to start, even if it’s not the place where you want to end up. It’s like buskers; if you stand and listen, you need to drop a few pennies in the hat.
There are other great generalist sites, though, more focussed on the subject. I found this useful on the medieval stuff.
