Excerpt from Tendring Hundred in the Olden Time: A Series of Sketches It has been no secret in the Tendring Hundred that the writer of the following Sketches has for some years past written a variety of papers upon sporting and other matters, many of them described as "In" and "Out of the Saddle." The "Tendring Hundred" Papers were commenced for a few "Out-of-the-Saddle" Sketches, but as they proceeded in a serial form, so many communications were received, and so much interest seemed to be excited by them, that the writer was induced to extend his researches, and go far deeper into the subject than he originally intended. And now, at the particular request of many friends, he has enlarged the Sketches, added notes, and brought down particulars of several families to a later date, for publication in the present form. In the first Sketch issued he stated that he should not confine himself to any particular or classified form of procedure, but should fix his "meets" at the best authorities, and make the running as the scent might carry him. He has not, therefore, taken the parishes alphabetically, but just as they seemed best to illustrate any particular custom, old form of tenure, or any other point of ancient history that he had in hand, or desired to illustrate.
