EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Sir Edmund Turnor, Antiquary of Lincolnshire (1619-1707)" Sir Edmund Turnor (1619-1707) was a renowned antiquary and historian from Lincolnshire, England, whose extensive research and writings significantly contributed to the understanding of the region's history. Born in the picturesque village of Wainfleet All Saints, Turnor dedicated his life to the study of local history, archaeology, and topography. This evocative portrait captures the scholarly intensity and wisdom of Sir Edmund Turnor in his later years. The antiquary is depicted wearing a simple, high-collared shirt, a fur-trimmed waistcoat, and a flowing, dark robe, which signifies his status as a learned man. His hands are poised on a large, open book, suggesting his ongoing research and commitment to uncovering the secrets of the past. Turnor's fascination with history began at an early age, and he was particularly interested in the Roman and Anglo-Saxon periods. He was a prolific writer and published several influential works, including "An Historical and Topographical Description of the Isle of Axholme," "A History of the Isle of Axholme," and "A History of the Isle of Ely." These works provided valuable insights into the history, culture, and people of Lincolnshire and the surrounding areas. Turnor's dedication to preserving the past extended beyond his written works. He was an active member of the Society of Antiquaries of London and played a crucial role in the discovery and preservation of various historical sites and artifacts in Lincolnshire. His tireless efforts to document and share the region's rich history have left an indelible mark on our understanding of England's past. This portrait of Sir Edmund Turnor offers a glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated his life to the pursuit of knowledge and the preservation of history. It serves as a reminder of the importance of curiosity, dedication, and the relentless quest for understanding the world around us.
