“ Parish history is a notable aid to the cultivation of a keen 
national spirit. An excellent example is ‘ Winestead and its 
Lords,’ by the late Canon N. J. Miller. The old church there is 
a shrine of English history, and the Rector holds his Rectory with 
house and glebe in unbroken succession from the appointment of 
Nicholas Maleth in 1237. Every phase of the making of England 
is illustrated in this chronicle of a quiet corner in ‘ the mersshy 
contree called Holdernesse,’ as Chaucer describes it. Winestead 
was the birthplace of Andrew Marvell, and in his poems he recalls 
the lowly parsonage in which he was born.” — Morning Post.

By John Nicholson. 137 pages, demy 8vo, being a reprint 
from The Transactions of the East Riding Antiquarian Society. 
In paper covers, 5/- net, or in cloth boards, gilt, 7/6 net. 
For many years this author has had the reputation of being our 
greatest authority on East Yorkshire folklore. He has had excep- 
tional opportunities of investigating rare sources of information, 
regarding the question of the various puzzling place names occurring 
in the East Riding of Yorkshire. At the present time there seems 
to be a distinct revival of interest in this subject, and it is felt that 
many would like to have a work dealing with it, in a cheap and 
readily accessible form.
