Yateley: Fact and Fiction
Acknowledgements 1999
MR FRANK WHITE of Eversley for allowing us to photograph his 19th century watercolour of Monteagle House for the Society's 1878 exhibition.
MRS JEAN ~McILWAINE for producing, some 20 years ago, firstly the Gentleman's Magazine of 1797, and then Sir Thomas Sturmy Cave's family newsletter of Christmas 1925, which put me on the right trail.
MR WILLIAM CAVE and his family of Barnes, the direct descendants of the first William Cave of Yateley who became copyholder of Brickhills (now known as Monteagle House) in April 1619. Detailed notes by Sir Thomas Sturmy Cave, on the back of a picture of Monteagle House dated 1922, started my researches of the Essex Rebellion.
MS JUNE SPAREY of Camberley News who in 1990 whilst her leg was in plaster, typed out all the Yateley articles and letters from the 1920s and 1930s and presented a computer disc of them to the Society. The article of November 9, 1928 seems to be the fount of the current legends about the Gunpowder Plot.
And of course, not forgetting all the writers who have written and researched their own individual display boards, and who have acknowledged their own sources and assistance.
Peter Tipton, July 1999
