Letters and corrections.

The Long Man is a generous subject and there is always more to learn. Get in touch.

How to Get in Touch

There are three reasons to write.

If you have a correction or a source. The book and the site are both works in progress. If you have spotted an error, or know of an archive, photograph or oral tradition that ought to be in here, please write — with your reference if you have one. Corrections are gratefully received and credited in the next revision.

If you would like to be notified about the book. Pre-orders open mid-2026. Leave your address below and you’ll get a single note when the book is ready — nothing else, no newsletter, no marketing.

If you have a question. Stuart will reply, eventually. Slow correspondence is part of the project.

Direct

Write directly.

The simplest way is a letter, posted to:

Stuart, c/o The Long Man of Wilmington
Wilmington, East Sussex

Or by email, to letters@thelongmanofwilmington.com. Replies are slow and considered, not fast. Please do not expect a same-day response — or, frankly, a same-week one.

Read while you wait for a reply.
