Bibliography
The foremost authority on the history of St Wystan's Church was Dr. H.M. Taylor, who together with Professor Martin Biddle and his wife, Birthe Kjølbye-Biddle conducted extensive archaeological exploration at Repton during the 1970s and 1980s.  The historical material on this site draws heavily on Dr. Taylor's work.  The following list of sources is largely taken from the 1989 edition of his 'St Wystan's Church Repton. A Guide and History'.
