	A History of Malmesbury by Dr. Bernulf Hodge
		WHEN I came to Malmesbury as a young Doctor forty years ago, I found myself in a bit of "Old England" in the best sense of the word.
		I did this for my personal pleasure and with no intention of ever publishing them, but when asked to do so for the coming "Festival of Flowers", I thought it would be my contribution to the upkeep of the Abbey and of financial help to my Hospital.
		I have therefore done my best to produce a History of Malmesbury, although short, and believe this has not been attempted since the last "History" by the late James Bird in 1876.

		The earl renewed the struggle for the crown and continued it until his death (Oct. 31, 1147); but the personal unpopularity of Matilda, and the estrangement of the Church from her cause, made his efforts unavailing.
		His loyalty to a lost cause must be allowed to weigh in the scale against his earlier double-dealing: But he hardly deserves the extravagant praise which is lavished upon him by William of Malmesbury.
		The sympathies of the chronicler are too obviously influenced by the earls munificence towards literary men.
