	King Edward VII School Sheffield - KES MAGAZINE, JULY, 1949
		Many of the names in this district, such as Burncross, Charlton (earlier Charkin) Brook and Smithy Car, indicate how the woods were used at an early date to provide fuel for the local forges, and it is suggested that arrow-heads were made here even in Roman times.
		The earliest reference I have seen to the family is when the Sheffield lord, Thomas de Furnival, granted lands near Chapeltown to Gilbert Smith (or Faber, in the Latin) who then, in 1267, granted them in turn to Thomas de Berries.
		Despite this, there can be few families which have had such a close and continuous connection with the school and none which have chronicled their story to make such interesting reading.
