N2  - "How to Write the History of a Parish" by J. Charles Cox is a practical guide on parochial history writing, composed in the late 19th century. The book serves as a manual for clergy and local historians interested in documenting their parish's history, drawing from various sources including historical records, architectural features, and local traditions.   The opening of the text outlines the rationale behind the publication of this handbook, which was prompted by the need for a comprehensive county history of Lincolnshire through specific parochial histories. It emphasizes the importance of rigorous documentation practices and provides detailed instructions for gathering materials essential for such historical accounts. Key aspects such as etymology of place names, prehistoric remains, and the historical context of manorial and ecclesiastical elements are highlighted as foundational components for understanding a parish's past.
