Few other counties contain more historic seats, or can boast of a longer list of distinguished sons who have left their mark on the pages of our country's annals. Statesmen, poets, patriots, heroes of the sword and of the pen, have made their home amid the hills and dales of this delightful county; and many great events in the history of England have taken place upon its soil. It has been the aim of the authors of these "Memorials" to record the chief objects of interest connected with the county, although they are conscious that they have by no means exhausted the rich stores of historical treasure which Buckinghamshire affords. The Editor desires to express his gratitude to the writers who have so kindly co-operated with him in the preparation of this volume. One gentleman, the representative of one of the oldest families in Buckinghamshire, the Rev. Randolph Pigott, has been called away from earth since his brief chapters on the history of the county which he loved were written. His last composition will have a pathetic interest for his many friends. To the other authors who have contributed to this volume the Editor begs to offer his most grateful thanks, and he trusts that their labours will meet with the approbation of all who reverence antiquity and love the traditions and historical associations of Old Buckinghamshire.
