Trivia
In 1378, the curate/parson, William Capel de Sapcote of Little Loughton was found dead on the highway. An inquest found that the priest of Great Loughton, John Gervyes, had killed him with an arrow worth 1d. The value of the bow and arrow was 14d, and 'Great Loughton' was fined by that amount. In 1408, Little and Great Loughton were merged to form the present parish.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
