A Message from the Mayor

The Mayor’s Parlour, Town Hall, Maidenhead

The Windsor Local History Publications Group deserves the support of all the residents of the Royal Borough who wish to ensure that our heritage is cherished and preserved.

It is my privilege to wish its members every success on the occasion of this 21st-anniversary number of their journal Windlesora. Probing the past and showing how everyday history takes its place in the wider context of national history is an art that, to start with, requires patience for meticulous research. The authors must then enable the readers to travel through the centuries and lead them to understand the problems of the present by delving deep into the roots embedded in history.

The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead is grateful to those who are willing to do this work and I wish them great intellectual satisfaction and a very successful year.

Ady Sheldon, Mayor
