Hello
Looked in my Manor of Stockingford, Local History Collection (ancient Stockingford abutted Hartshill, Bretts Hall, Ansley, Arley, Robesons End, circled the tiny common of Galley Common originally a plot and part of Medieval Stockingford and to the East abutted Nuneaton Common), to see what I can find.
Purefoy TabletsBecause the Purefoy of Caldecote Tablets were found near Ansley Hall, I kept a copy from Vol. 79 of the Birmingham Archaeological Society's Transactions for my personal Collection regarding Purefoy (I have scanned and attached).
Somewhere I have a newspaper cutting of the find too, but it could take days or months to find (I have filing, but no indexing) and intended marrying these two items up together when I last the saw the cutting.
Howard E. Brown was a local Archaeologist along with Charles Clark (Late Mr S. C. Clark, Lindley House, Lindley, Nuneaton), others mentioned were Mr E. J. Holdam; Mr C. J. Tompkin and Mr C. Bugby.
Publications etc.
I presume you have accessed Dugdale's History of Warwickshire (17th Century) and 1730?
Reference to John Nichols - History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester too.
Notes on Medieval English GeneaologyThis is a good site (I have picked up the Leicestershire link), for links to publications
