Stukeley’s "Palaeographia Britannica" consists of 3 parts published separately between 1743 and 1752. The first part was an account of the medieval antiquities unearthed at the "Oratory of Lady Roisia, Foundress of Royston, Discovered at Royston in August 1742". The Reverend Charles Parkin published his Answer as an argument against the interpretation of these finds in 1744, arguing that they were nothing to do with the Norman Roisia family but probably Saxon, and the present work was a response to that. See English Short Title Catalogue Online, citation T144383.
