Leland 1535-47
Extracts for Hampshire from the Itinerary written by John Leland, 1535-43, transcribed using Minns reading of the Itinerary, deriving from the third edition published by Thomas Hearne, 1769.
Minns, G W, Rev: 1907=1910: Leland in Hampshire: ProfHFC: vol.6 supplement: pp.43-68

Minns prefered to 'retain Leland's quaint spellings and archaic words, which are a study for the English philologist.' He incorporated Leland's marginal notes (and probably commentary by William Burton soon after Leland's death.) Minns's commentary notes are included as are our own few comments.

Leland's journey enters Hampshire from Wiltshire near Clarendon Park, travels via Stockbridge, Winchester, Otterbourne, Southampton, Hamble, Titchfield, Gosport, Portsmouth, Southwick, Wickham, Bishops Waltham, to Winchester again.
