Do not be put off by the length of the list: you will probably need only a fraction of it. For the primary sources – original documents or transcriptions of these – efforts have been made to include everything which might be productive. If you know of or find further such sources which should be on this list, please tell the Langham Village History Group archivist so that they can be added. If you find a source that we have given particularly productive, please tell us what needs it has satisfied; if you are convinced that it is a waste of time, please tell us this too! For the secondary sources – books, journals and internet sites – we have tried to include just enough useful ones, whatever aspect of Langham history that you might wish to investigate. However, we realise that there is then a danger of the list looking discouragingly long. Probably you will want to look at only a fraction of these. For many of the books, just a single chapter or a small section found from the index, or even a sentence, here and there, useful for quotation, is all that you may want. But, again, if you find or know of further especially useful sources, please tell us.

These words were no mere rallying cry in the first issue of this journal. They were to serve as part of the statement of the aims of the Society that had just come into existence and as an invitation to contribute to a journal dedicated to the discovering and reinforcement of the bonds between the old and the new in the county of Rutland. The issues of Rutland Record indexed here bear witness to the strength of the response to Bryan Waites's opening challenge. The successive numbers offered aspects of Rutland life and thought, wide in their historical range and topical variety. Matters as diverse as Rutland's origins, the history of cricket, local beer, church architecture, ironstone quarrying, and meteorology were dealt with, each in some depth, in the first five numbers alone.
