In reply to an item a week or so back, the best account of the printers, Cheney's, is in 'John Cheney and his descendants, printers in Banbury since 1767' (Banbury: privately published, 1936). It is a very rare item and you will be lucky to find it outside a major copyright library, libraries specialising in the history of the book, or local history collections. A brief account by local historian Brian Little can be found at http://www.banburytoday.co.uk/mk4custompages/CustomPage.aspx?PageID=40397 It is a great shame that the company that took over the Cheney name itself went out of business last year and despite attempts to save them the Cheney records seem to have been destroyed. This depite the fact that they were only on the site for safekeeping and actually belonged to the last Chariman, John Cheney, who lives in Dedidngton a few miles s of Banbury.
