The Records of Leckhampton by Robert Cary Barnard, 1897

Records of Leckhampton was written by Robert Cary Barnard, based on lectures that he gave in 1897. They were the result of his painstaking and extensive study and analysis  of parish and manorial records which are now kept in Gloucestershire Archives, and he also repeated received wisdom of the time - the histories of the county  written by Atkyns, Rudder and Fosbrook. This comprehensive survey will have been the first opportunity for villagers to learn about the evolution of Leckhampton, and through this pioneering work Barnard prepared much of the ground for others to cultivate in later years. 
Major Robert Cary Barnard (1827 - 1906) was a man of many talents, with a particular interest in botany. He was born in Prestbury and after a peripatetic life settled in Leckhampton in 1868. His home was Bartlow on Leckhampton Hill (now demolished), designed by his friend the architect John Middleton. He strongly opposed Henry Dale's closure of Leckhampton Hill to the public in 1894. His fondness for Leckhampton is reflected in the rumour that his ashes were scattered over the hill. Leckhampton Local History Society is pleased to be able to make the book available to the general public.
