EDITORIAL NOTE
This volume, the third in the Staffordshire series to appear, is,
like its predecessor, Volume IV, the outcome of a partnership
between the University of London and a group of Local
Authorities in Staffordshire. For some explanation of the nature
of that partnership and a description of the editorial arrangements the reader is referred to the Editorial Note prefixed to
Volume IV. It only remains for the University of London to
reiterate its gratitude to the Local Authorities for the continuation of their much valued financial assistance. Sincere
thanks must also again be returned to those who have helped
in the work of compilation, especially to Miss Marguerite
Gollancz and Mr. F. B. Stitt (successively Librarians of the
William Salt Library, Stafford, and County Archivists), the
members of their staff, Mr. M. B. S. Exham (Lichfield
Diocesan Registrar), and Mr. S. A. H. Burne.
