Original publication: Dunmow: Dunmow: D. Carter, 1909Although, as in duty bound, a member of his county
Archæological Society, no claim to what may be dignified by
antiquarian research is made by the Author of this modest
publication.If he is entitled to any credit at all, it can be merely in respect
of the fact that (in addition to making the best use of the
historical stores and constant kindness of Mr. Hastings Worrin),
he has regarded it as a kind of minor act of local patriotism to
try to gather together and set forth, in as simple and attractive
a fashion as possible, such data as, with a little trouble, may be
collected concerning a Custom all the surviving records of which
are of interest and importance to those who live in Great or
Little Dunmow or their vicinity.The subject has, however, a wider appeal. It is so familiar that
throughout the land there can be few persons who have never
heard of the Dunmow Flitch. It is so old as to be enshrined,
for as long as English Literature shall endure, in Chaucer and
Langland.It is proper to mention, perhaps, that most of the subjects
illustrated have not before been photographed for publication.
For corrections or for any light on difficulties still confronting the
historian of the Flitch, the Author will be greatly obliged.
