Hi all 
Stumbled across this today... it's an online scan of a book (published 1990) from a Canadian library. While it says it's about Early English Drama, it's really a litany of 'incidences' in Herefordshire, of folk charged with dancing and playing their jew harps before prayer on a Sunday! All dated pre 1642, but if you happen to be dabbling in that time there are names of people 'charged', town by town. I recognised a lot of surnames from my research in the 1800s.
A very interesting little book; also includes a description of Herefordshire, historical background and a few old maps etc.
The link is http://ia300241.us.archive.org/load_djvu_applet.cgi?file=/3/items/herefordREEDklauuoft/herefordREEDklauuoft.djvu
Happy browsing,
Ger

Hi
I am only getting the front cover of the book form the link! Iam doing something wrong?
I am interested in Hereford History as my friend is working in a nursing home there doing activities for those who are resident and one of the areas she looking to cover is the history of the area
Many thanks
Cal

Cal -
At the top of the screen you should see arrows going in either direction with a number 1 between them... using the right arrow (without the line beside it) you can turn the pages of the book.
