This information comes from a manuscript in Nottingham Central Library, Local
History Section. It gives the source as "From early 20th mss in possession of
A.Cockburn". Although Thomas Ratcliffe is not named, Anne Cockburn is known to
have done research on a notebook of Ratcliffe's which she had acquired. The
subject matter, and the Worksop also ties in with his other publications.
