The Banbury Historical Society have recently published the first volume of extracts of this Banburyshire diarist who travelled widely in and outside the area as vicar and magistrate. At www.rootsweb.com/~engcbanb/books/risley-diaries.htm you can find a description of the book and all the indices of place and personal names and subjects [it is very long, so lots of scrolling!]. This Banburyshire page also shows how you can obtain a copy of the book if you find something in the index. Today the society also publishes Banbury Past through artists’ eyes to mark its 50th anniversary, and its indices of people and places shown will also be published on the web site shortly.
