John Aubrey travelled around Wiltshire in the 1660s, visiting churches,
taking notes as he went. They were eventually published in the 1880s.
The original print area is approximately 15cm wide. Depending on
the size of your screen, the clarity of the text may have deteriorated.
The pages have been cut and pasted together in order to make them easier to
read.
John Aubrey died before was able to research and publish his notes.
Some two hundred years later John Jackson undertook this task, and below
are his corrections and updated information.
The original print area is just under 15cm wide.
These images are from the book Wiltshire Collections.
Each page has some text and some notes - in order to read it more
easily, the pages have been cut and pasted to keep the text separate
from the notes. However, this does mean they appear rather
untidy in places. The shaded areas at the side of some pages
are where the pages were not flat against the scanner - pressing the
book flat may have damaged the book.
