Gervase Holles, M.A. & M.P., roalist Colonel of Foot, and above all “a learned and judicious Antiquary,” to whom we are indebted for the following Notes on our Lincolnshire Churches as they were before the Great Rebellion, was born at Great Grimsby on 9 March, 1606-7. This volume commences with a full account of Grimsby and the adjoining parishes of Little Cotes and Humberstone. Following theis description there comes, rather irrelevantly, the Chronicon de Allerdale post Conquest Anglia, relating to Cumberland. Holles next gives a long series of documents illustrating the history of the ancient family of Clifton, of Clifton, Notts. The remainder of the volume records the monuments and coats of arms in some 200 of our Lincolnshire churches. He only diverges from the county to include Mansfield, Haughton and Tuxford in Nottinghamshire and Staveley in Derbyshire. [Adapted from the Introduction to the volume.]
