Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough
A canon regular of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire, formerly known as The Chronicle of Walter of Hemingburgh, describes the period from 1066 to 1346. Before 1274 the Chronicle is based on other works. Thereafter, the Chronicle is original, and a remarkable source for the events of the time. This book provides a translation of the Chronicle from that date. The Latin source for our translation is the 1849 work edited by Hans Claude Hamilton. Hamilton, in his preface, says: 'In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed.'

Abbot John Whethamstede’s Chronicle of the Abbey of St Albans
Abbot John Whethamstede's Register aka Chronicle of his second term at the Abbey of St Albans, 1451-1461, is a remarkable text that describes his first-hand experience of the beginning of the Wars of the Roses including the First and Second Battles of St Albans, 1455 and 1461, respectively, their cause, and their consequences, not least on the Abbey itself. His text also includes Loveday, Blore Heath, Northampton, the Act of Accord, Wakefield, and Towton, and ends with the Coronation of King Edward IV. In addition to the events of the Wars of the Roses, Abbot John, or his scribes who wrote the Chronicle, include details in the life of the Abbey such as charters, letters, land exchanges, visits by legates, and disputes, which provide a rich insight into the day-to-day life of the Abbey, and the challenges faced by its Abbot.

On 15th November 1786 Richard Temple 7th Baronet [aged 55] died. His third cousin John [aged 55] succeeded 8th Baronet Temple of Stowe. He was buried at Bath Abbey [Map] where his Wall Memorial reads: "In Memory of Sir RICHARD TEMPLE Baronet; Son of Sir PETER TEMPLE Baronet: who was many years a Comissioner of His Majesty's Navy. He married ANN SOPHIA Daughter of Sir WILLIAM TEMPLE Baronet of Kempsey in the County of Worcester: by whom he left no surviving Issue. As the last token of Conjugal affection and regard She hath caused this marble to be erected March 20th. 1787." Below on the floor is "Underneath are deposited the Remains of Sir Richard Temple Baronet of Kempsey in the County of Worcester who died November the 15th 1786 in the 55th Year of his Age."
There is some disagreement as to whether he was legally the 8th Baronet, with some sources, including Cracroft stating:
Following the death of Sir Richard Temple the Baronetcy of Temple of Stow was claimed by his third cousin, John Temple, British Consul-General in Washington 1786-98, a great-grandson of Mary Temple and her husband Robert Nelson. In spite of a letter of support from his kinsman, George [Grenville later Nugent-Temple-Grenville] [aged 33], 1st Marquess of Buckingham, the heir general of the 1st Baronet, Mr John Temple's claim to the Baronetcy cannot be through his mother, as the succession to the baronetcy was restricted to male heirs of the body of the 1st Baronet. His claim must, therefore, be through his father, Capt Robert Temple, of Boston, Massachusetts, British North America (and indeed the Marquess of Buckingham describes him as the "heir male" of the 1st Baronet in his letter from Stowe dated 3 Dec 1786). Without further information it is difficult to see Mr John Temple's placing amongst the male line descendants of the 1st Baronet and the nature of the kinship between his parents, unless he descends, as has been suggested, from the Rev Thomas Temple, Rector of Burton-on-the-Water, and third son of the 1st Baronet.
In addition to Mr John Temple's claim it is possible that there are living male line descendants of Col Edmund Temple, of Sulby Priory, co. Northampton, through his third son, Edmund Temple, of Leicester, and it is for this reason that the Baronetcy of Temple of Stowe is regarded as being dormant rather than extinct.
On 17th November 1798 John Temple 8th Baronet [aged 67] died. His son Grenville [aged 30] succeeded 9th Baronet Temple of Stowe.
In 1829 Grenville Temple 9th Baronet [aged 60] died. His son Grenville [aged 29] succeeded 10th Baronet Temple of Stowe.
On 7th July 1847 Grenville Temple 10th Baronet [aged 47] died. His son Grenville [aged 17] succeeded 11th Baronet Temple of Stowe.
On 3rd March 1860 Grenville Leofric Temple 11th Baronet [aged 30] died. His son Grenville [aged 2] succeeded 12th Baronet Temple of Stowe.
On 7th December 1919 Grenville Louis John Temple 12th Baronet [aged 61] died in . Baronet Temple of Stowe presumed to be extinct.
