Mr John Tucker, Parish Clerk and Schoolmaster of Cornworthy for forty years. Died December 1860 aged 74 years. He was correspondent for many years to the Sherborne Mercury and widely respected as the 'maker of wills' for those in his locality. He is best remembered as an antiquary and local historian of some note, with a particular interest in Cornworthy Priory, founded in the 13th century by the powerful Zouch family. The paper, despite its title and introduction is essentially a history of the author's family. Google with the Archive Organization has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
