Researched by Rosemary Jewers 2020

I thought it time to add a reference page and list as many books, pamphlets and writings by members of the Norfolk Brereton line. These will not be limited to Breretons, but will include some of those who were connected to the Breretons through marriage. I can see that this page will be ongoing and I welcome all suggestions. I will start off this post with publications written by Charles David Brereton, my great great grandfather and follow with his son, Joseph Lloyd Brereton, my great grandfather and Joseph’s brother, Robert Maitland Brereton.
