NOVIOMAGUS (12 S. iii. 385). A succinct account is in "A Tender Tribute to the Memory of Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson ....together with a short history of the origin and formation of the Noviomagian Society, founded in 1828. Arranged, with an introductory chapter, by George R. Wright, F.S.A." (1897), which gives lists of the members in 1872 and from 1884 to 1879. The minutes of meetings of the Society in 1844-5 were printed contemporaneously in pamphlet form.
Bushey churchyard, Herts, has the tombstone of William Jerdan, editor of The Literary Gazette, erected " as a tribute to his memory by his Friends and Associates in the Society of Noviomagus."
