Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Records of St. Michael's Parish Church, Bishop's Stortford Readers of County Histories must be aware that the County Historian, as a rule, has neither time nor space to devote to what may be termed the more minute details of the domestic life and customs of each Parish in his County. He cannot, for instance, be expected to transcribe the Parish Register, or the accounts of Churchwardens; and yet these documents contain information which must be extremely interesting to all residents, and without which no Parochial History can be said to have been thoroughly and completely written. Impressed with this idea, I have often wished, if it were possible, to add some little link in the chain of the history of my native town. An opportunity occurred a few years ago, when Mr. Speechly (one of the present Churchwardens) undertook the rearrangement of the Parish Papers. I had the pleasure of helping him in the work, and I found the papers contained so much interesting matter, that I determined, if possible, to publish a transcript of them, my only regret being that the work had not fallen into abler hands.
