    1. BATTLE OF NEVILL'S CROSS booklet
    2. Glenn Gohr
    3. The Battle of Nevill's Cross, by Henry J. Swallow, 1885, is a small booklet that was photocopied and given to all charter members of the Society of John Neville Descendants in December 1976. It is 23 pages long. Getting two pages to a sheet, I can get this on 12 pages. I'd be glad to send this to anyone for $1.50 each. This would have to be mailed first class as it would be loose photocopies. This booklet tells the history of the famous battle in English history which occurred on Oct. 17, 1346 and involved Ralph Lord Nevill of Raby who married Alice de Audley. I have a photocopy of the booklet which was sent to me by Joseph B. Neville in the early 1980s. My copy is dim in some parts, but I believe it still will duplicate satisfactorily. Since the booklet was published in 1885, it seems to be a rare item. I have no idea if a copy would be available anywhere else. Henry J. Swallow, Rector of Hawthorn, is the same person who wrote the book, DE NOVA VILLA, about the early Neville family in England. If you want this booklet, the cost would be $1.50 postage paid. Also, be advised that I plan to duplicate all of the Society of John Neville Descendants newsletters from 1976-1980 and have them bound if possible. If so, I also will include this booklet in with the newsletters since Joseph Neville and the Soc. of John Neville Descendants also included it in with the newsletters to begin with. You would not want to order the booklet separately, if you plan to order the Soc. of John Neville Descendants newsletters. The newsletters are on legal size paper and number 88 pages by themselves. Also, they include type very close to the margin, so it will be tricky to get those bound, but I think I can do it. I'll try to let you know in the next day or so on the cost for the newsletters as several have shown an interest. But if you just want the booklet, THE BATTLE OF NEVILL'S CROSS, that would be $1.50. Sincerely, Glenn Gohr 1040 E. McCanse St. Springfield, MO 65803-3613 Ph. 417-833-2814 (evenings)
