Any grey shading is where the spine of the book did not lie flat against the scanner. The original paper size is
approx. 21cm by 27.5cm (8.5in by 10.8in), the printed area approx. 15cm (6in) wide. Depending on your
screen size you may find the clarity of the picture has deteriorated as it has been enlarged.
John Aubrey travelled around Wiltshire in the 1660s, visiting churches, taking notes as he went. In
some instances friends were asked to make the visit, and this is the case with Rodbourne Cheney.
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.
