For those wishing to know: lots of detail about Horncastle (in 
Lincolnshire, UK).  Walter was a local man and a keen local historian so 
all sorts of odds and ends are in the book.  I'd particularly like to draw 
attention to the deplorable behaviour of the Grammar School boys who 
"sometimes amused ourselves on the return journey by firing pistols, to 
disturb the inhabitants of houses near the canal" - educational standards 
have changed somewhat...

All the best,
