‘Roll of the justices in eyre at Bedford, 1227,’ by G. Herbert Fowler  [Introduction and English translation of the roll]. ‘The Domesday water mills of Bedfordshire,’ by W. Austin [Includes a map of their location]. ‘The King’s larderer of Meppershall,’ by Mrs. Hilary Jenkinson. ‘Recruiting of militia, 1798,’ [Transcription of the order from the Bedfordshire justices to the chief constable of Clifton hundred to draw up a list of the men aged 18 to 45 of Lower Stondon who were eligible for the militia].

William Austin FSA (1850-1928) was a founder member of BHRS and its Treasurer until his death.  He was a solicitor, clerk to the justices and steward of the manor of Luton.  He published papers about Saxon graves in Luton and several books and articles on the history of Luton and the area.

Miss A. V. Rickards was a Cambridge history graduate.  She wrote the sections on Biggleswade and Clifton hundreds and Luton in VCH Bedford volume 2.  Later publications are under her married name Mrs Hilary Jenkinson.

Dr G. Herbert Fowler (1861-1940) was a zoologist working in London before he retired to Bedfordshire, where he became a county councillor and chairman of the county’s Records Committee in 1913.  He immediately reformed the existing record room, established standard procedures and ran it as a public service, the first in the country. He was a founder member of BHRS in 1912 and its Secretary, General Editor and principal contributor to the annual volumes until his death.  He also published extensively on sources in Buckinghamshire and elsewhere.
