User:Noswall59

Hi, I'm Noswall59. I've been contributing to Wikisource since 2018, though I'm more active on Wikipedia where I work on content creation and improvement. On this site, I'm mostly interested in transcribing historical texts, i.e. works of historical scholarship. I've so far transcribed some of the English Historical Review's articles, as well as contributions to The Ancestor. I'm interested in expanding our coverage of sources for British history generally and the history of Lincolnshire specifically. I've added entries from the Complete Peerage and the editorial material from Massingberd's translation of Ingoldmell's manorial court rolls.

Works added (partial or complete):

W. O. Massingberd, Court Rolls of the Manor of Ingoldmells in the County of Lincoln (1902): preface and introduction.

Notes to self

Lincolnshire history

Victoria County History volume: [1]. Material on ecclesiastical history is already transcribed at BHO, so focus on 245 onwards (approximately 300 pages of content covering the economic, political and social history of the county).
Reports and Papers of the Architectural Societies ...: contains proceedings from the Lincolnshire Diocesan Architectural Society, effectively the county history society, which is the predecessor to the modern SLHA. Some vols of reports and papers from 1851 to 1880 are available on the Internet Archive.
Lincs Notes and Queries; the first 5 vols are freely available (all late 19th century), though the series continued until the 1930s: 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5.
Monograph histories on Sleaford include Edward Trollope's Sleaford, and the Wapentakes of Flaxwell and Ashwardhurn (1872), which although dated contains much useful material, as well the earlier and less reliable Sketches, illustrative of the History and Topography of New and Old Sleaford (1825) supposedly published by J. Creasey, but really authored by Rev. Richard Yerburgh. Cornelius Greenwood's A Short Account of the Late Mr. Thomas Fawcett, to Which is Added the Rise and Progress of Methodism in Sleaford (1839) has much valuable material on the development of non-conformism in the town; if Fawcett's A History of the Free Churches of Sleaford from 1662 to 1902 (1902) becomes available, that too would be useful. There is also the report on the town's sanitation prepared by the government in 1850. Other works include George Oliver's History of the Holy Trinity Guild and M. P. Moore's brief The Family of Carre of Sleford, Co. Lincoln, which had earlier been read to the Diocesan Architectural Society.
