Bourne People: Hereward.


This group of web pages consists of transcriptions of documents relating to the story of Hereward, son of Leofric, of Bourne, Lincolnshire.

Much the most important set of the transcriptions presented here is taken at two removes, from the book formerly held at Peterborough Cathedral, and known by names such as Robert of Swaffham’s Book. The version here was published as parallel Latin and English text in a supplement in Fenland Notes and Queries, from 1895. The Latin text was transcribed by S.H. Miller and this was translated by W.D. Sweeting.

Other links, internal and external, on this home page are to pages dealing with other sources of information about the life and works of Hereward and about the way in which his story has been transmitted to us.
