DING 2013: “EDD used Belford Regis (1835) and Country Stories (1837) as a primary source for both Berkshire and Hampshire.”

Leclaire (1954:52-53): “Born at Alresford, Hants, the daughter of a selfish and extravagant phsysician, whom she at last supported by her pen. Her literary fame rests on her sketches of rural life in the village she loved and knew so well... Three Mile Cross, south of Reading, Berkshire, sat for Our Village.”
