“That some of the chapters in this attractive book invite further questions, besides those which they answer, is a tribute to the stimulating character of such an immensely well-deserved presentation.” –G.E. Aylmer, Journal of the Society of Archivists

“..fulfils its twin functions of promoting local history as it celebrates the work of Joyce Youings. ... The volume is a valuable resource for researchers, but it remains the model of a well-produced thematic collection.” –Sixteenth Century Journal
