Worthington George Smith and other studies presented to Joyce Godber.

Bedfordshire chapelries: an essay in rural settlement history. By Dorothy Owen. A Bedfordshire miscellany, consisting of nine articles presented to Miss Joyce Godber (formerly County Archivist) on her retirement as general editor for the Society. The volume takes its name from James Dyer's entertaining account of Worthington George Smith, the Dunstable antiquary and eccentric, but also includes definitive articles on other major topics - the Bedfordshire lace industry, the 1830 riots in Bedfordshire, the rebel clergyman Timothy R. Matthews, and 1919 Peace riots in Luton, and on the Anglo-Indian era in Bedford's history between 1880 and 1914. A good read, and excellent value for money. Bedfordshire heraldry: a conspectus. By F. W. KuhIicke. Middlemen in the Bedfordshire lace industry. By Anne Buck. Joshua Symonds [1739-88], an eighteenth-century Bedford dissenting minister. By H. G. Tibbutt. The 1830 riots in Bedfordshire-background
