Philip Lamothe Snell Chauncy (1816 – 1880), my third great grandfather, continues his memoir with events from 1838, beginning with his return to Over, Cambridgeshire, where he resumed his surveying work.
I am just catching up Ann. This memoir is wonderful to read. I loved his description of Coronation Day celebrations at Sutton. I'm pleased you included the map. I do have a little family history in Cambridgeshire, but wasn't sure where Over and Sutton were. I'm off to read the follow up posts.
What a treasure his memoir is!! And as a surveyor, to have seen so much of the country, and written about it. Simply marvellous.
