In the spring of 2021, I was asked to write a 600-word magazine article on William Dyer and Kirkby LaThorpe, the village where he was born in 1609. The article was published in "Heckington Living," a 40-page lifestyle magazine for Lincolnshire. The magazine editor had discovered my article and photos about the Kirkby LaThorpe church, from this website.
The editor, Amy Lennox, wrote: "Thank you again for your article - the locals were very complimentary about this issue!" I took screenshots, so here you go:

| Domesday Book of 1086 that mentions the Saxon Earl Morcar and the area of Kirkby LaThorpe. (You can make out "thorp" in the second paragraph.) The Domesday Book was a survey of who owned what and how much could the king levy in rents and fighting men. |
