It is not nearly so complete or comprehensive as I could have wished, but there are natural limits to the bulk of a volume in the " Ex-Libris" series, and it has been only possible to carry on such a work in the intervals snatched from the absorbing work of designing.

    Issue no. 3 Autumn 2015 Contents Page Correspondence 1 Woodroffe Stained Glass Windows Carol Jackson 3 William Bartholomew’s Sermon on 15th May 1660 Jill Wilson 6 Traditional Cotswold Roofs Roger Johnson 7 Chipping Campden Charters Alan Warmington 11 A Campden Cricketer and some Curious Facts David West 13 Robert Harris 1581-1658 Diana Evans 15 Fieldwork Summary 2013 at Bourton-on-the-Hill Chiz Harward 16 CCHS Activities and News 18 From the Editor Once again a most interesting set of articles sent to us for this 3rd Edition of Signpost. We thank all the contributors: the follow up information on Robert Harris and William Bartholomew from two members, Diana Evans and Jill Wilson, is useful and the official report on the archaeological dig at Bourton-on-the Hill is good to have on record. Once again we find helpful work that Allan Warmington prepared. David West’s research into his Horne family history has revealed some surprising skeletons! Roger Johnson’s article on Cotswold Roofs will open our eyes as we walk down Campden High Street and I hope that readers will appreciate more of Paul Woodroffe’s fine stained glass windows through my article, which of course will be in colour when this edition is uploaded to the CCHS website in a few months’ time. The activities of CCHS and the committee are also contained in the last four pages. Please keep your news, research findings and articles coming in to me. Signpost is published by Chipping Campden History Society. © 2015 ISSN 2056-8924 Editor: Carol Jackson.
