The bibliography is an extensive, but not totally comprehensive, list of
books and reports on local topics of historical and related relevance. Some
minor booklets in the Local Studies collection of Basingstoke Library, that do
not add additional information to that contained in the references cited, have
been omitted. It has been created to extend the usefulness of TMoB to anyone interested in
We have deliberately not extended the guide to sources to include
national sources, for example The National Archives on-line catalogue, as we
feel anyone researching to that degree of detail will already be fully aware of
their potential.
A .pdf version of this document is available on request. We would
be pleased to receive notice of omissions, corrections, suggestions for
additions etc for future updates. Please contact us at bandbapplin@btinternet.com
This document will be updated as further
publications are noted or information gathered. The most up-to-date version
will be published on the BAHS web-site www.bahsoc.org.uk

Prior to the establishment of The
Hants & Berks Gazette in 1878, the main newspapers covering
local news were The Hampshire Chronicle,
published in Winchester, and The Reading
Mercury, published in Reading; microfilm copies of these are
not yet available on-line but are available for consultation in the respective
town libraries. A short-lived Basingstoke
Standard was published in competition to the Hants & Berks Gazette in the 1880s; copies from issue no.30
(January 6, 1882) are held in the British Library’s newspaper collection at
Colindale. From February 1903 to 1916 Warren & Son of

Archives and Local Studies (HA&LS) at the Hampshire Record Office (HRO) in
HRO holds the originals of many of the Borough and Church records from
the earlier centuries, as well as documents relevant to
Each of these collections (Library, Museum and HRO) should be searched
thoroughly as they are the major sources of information and are continually
updated. For example, the HRO has been
given the collection of documents that Arthur Attwood had gathered over many
years and which he used as the basis of his weekly Basingstoke Gazette articles mentioned above: HRO 50A07.

Treasures, noted in the document list, published in 1979, contains, amongst
other data, a comprehensive listing of the then-known archaeological sites and
reported finds and a list of ‘Buildings, Monuments and Engineering Works’ that
were considered worthy of recording. Each entry gives an Ordnance Survey Grid
Reference, where known, and a brief description of the subject.
The Victoria
County History, Hampshire, vol IV, 1911, (available in Basingstoke Library)
has a major section on Basingstoke in the chapter for the Basingstoke Hundred;
it draws heavily on the information in Baigent & Millard’s A History of the Ancient Town and Manor of Basingstoke and provides an authoritative summary
of the history of Basingstoke as understood in the first decade of the 20th
century. It is currently being revised. During the revision, the input
documents and data will be placed on the VCH web site, www.victoriacountyhistory.ac.uk, as they become available.
A website at www.hantsphere.org.uk, run by Hants Library and Information Service, gives sources of
Hampshire information and photographs. A search using ‘Basingstoke’ will produce over 200 images and over 900 text entries
– many not on Basingstoke itself, but on the surrounding area and many not of
relevance to a student of the history of Basingstoke. It is nevertheless a worthwhile
source to interrogate. This site also has the Hampshire Archaeological and
Historic Buildings Atlas, provided by the Hants County Council’s Archaeology
and Historic Building Record. This contains articles, including site

which are in the
