INTRODUCTION
Prepared for the Internet by Elizabeth de Stermich,
granddaughter of Joseph Hugh Cooke LL. D.
I have left the original spelling and language of the time that
this book was written, and have arranged the pages in an orderly
fashion. In order to duplicate the original format would have
resulted in many pages with very little information on each.
PREFACE
THE
end of the Great War (1914-1919), in which Shillingstone
distinguished itself by taking the first place among the villages
of a population exceeding 100 in the United Kingdom for the number
of men who went voluntarily to the War, is a fitting moment for
publishing a short history of what is known of the village. The
Editor desires to thank the following persons who have contributed
information:—Mr. George S. Fry, O.B.E., Vice-President of the
Society of Dorset Men in London; (though born in London, Mr. Fry
belongs to a family whose name appears most frequently in the
parish registers. His researches have enabled him to correct
errors which have crept into Hutchin's (Classic History of
Dorset); Mr. Frank Dayman, the only surviving member of the
family of the .Rev. Canon Dayman, lately Rector of the parish; the
Rev. A. C. Almack, M.A., Rector of Blandford St. Mary. Sir Basil
Thomson, K.C.B., who has written the opening chapter. Mr. A.
Holland has given valuable help in preparing the manuscript for
the press.
