Sylloge of coins of the British Isles Volume 43.

The Norweb Collection, Tokens of the British Isles, 1575-1750, Part 3, Hampshire to Lincolnshire. 

Part 3 contains one of the most important collections of Hertfordshire tokens, which the Norwebs acquired from the enormous Nott collection and elsewhere. Nott had acquired Longman's collection; and Longman had built on those he acquired from his grandfather Sir John Evans. Hertfordshire localities new to Williamson are Batchworth Bridge (Rickmansworth), Elstree, Stanstead Abbots and Welwyn. There are extensive runs for Hampshire (which now, however, loses tokens through re-attribution from Blackwater and Farnborough), and for Kent, the latter including copperas-pickers' tokens from Minster and Queenborough. There are good representations of the small series for Herefordshire, Huntingdonshire (adding the places Earith and Spaldwick), Leicestershire (adding Belgrave and Bottesford), and Lancashire, where the loss of pieces from Ashton, Newton, and Risley is compensated with the new localities of Greenlow Heath, Marsden Coal Pit, and Rufford. For Lincolnshire, however, the Norwebs seem always to have faced stronger competition, as is also true to some extent of Kent.
