Many thanks to Ivan Bunn for helping me with the transcription  a"Gillingwater's History of Lowestoft" by Edmund Gillingwater is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the geography, origins, and development of Lowestoft and the surrounding region of Lothingland, providing insight into its historical significance and various socio-political factors influencing the local community over time.   At the start of the text, the author introduces Lothingland, a region that historically was an island but has become a peninsula, detailing its geographical boundaries and parishes. He references its historical ties to the Saxon Heptarchy and discusses the lineage of its name deriving from the noble Dane Lothbrock. This opening segment sets the stage for a broader exploration of Lowestoft's history, marked by invasions, local governance, and the evolution of its notable trade, particularly focused on the herring fishery, which has historically supported the town’s economy. The narrative intertwines local legends, such as the tale of King Edmund, with documented events and the transformation of the land, all of which serve to highlight the continuous interplay between geography and human activity in shaping the area’s identity.
