I am indebted to Pauline White for her enthusiasm, encouragement and fast search skills, and through Pauline, to Michael Tighe at Mere for help with the Morrises; for suggestions, to Steve Hobbs at Trowbridge Record Office; and for pictures and help, to the staff at the Warminster Museum. To villagers, Jeanne and Ernie George and Virginia Pryor for access to their archives, also to Virginia for the painting of the Gate House and to Ernie for his wonderful drawings. To Laurie Wallis, Fred and Kath Babey, Bill Windsor, Pam Jones, Connie Gorry, Linda and Graham Dean and Ivy and the late Percy Maidment for their time and reminiscences and to Pete Ash, Alan Sprack, Ray Poolman and the late Bert Bailey for photos. A special thank you to Rachel Hardy for preparing maps of the village for me.
I am increasingly being helped by emailers who, having visited the site, then contact me with more gems that I can add, so thanks to Emmanuelle Longuepee (France), Alan Feltham (Bexley), Kate Moonlight (Worcester), Lyle Curtis (Australia), Jannene Sheppard (Deal) and Peter Ashley (Trowbridge). I am specially indebted to Elizabeth Chadwick for alerting me to the latest research on the medieval period, including the answer to the: "who was the mother of William Longespee?" problem. Elizabeth, I love your novels, please keep on writing about the people and the times. To my readers, check out Elizabeth's books that not only brilliantly evoke the atmosphere, but include some characters connected with medieval Chitterne at www.elizabethchadwick.com.
Last, but not least, I could not have made this website happen without the help and expertise of my late daughter Mandy, the first little webmaster who is very much missed, or Dave, who is always patient and encouraging.
Thank you all.
