Some of the surnames included are Manners, Barrington, Penrice, Fountaine, Berney, Browne, Hunt, Lowndes, Shales, Selby, Goostrey, Osborne, Kingstone, Also included are names of stewards, family solicitor and exors. The documents dating back to the early 1700s also mention places including Rutland, Hatfield Broad Oak, Winslow, Chesham, Rickmansworth, Lyme Dorset, Selborne Isle of Wight, Richards Castle Hereford and Bath. Four sheets and a cover sheet measuring about 16 x 13 inches. The cover sheet is rubbed into holes on the outer folds but the whole document is very good, Read More

Book condition: Poor

Book Description

Oldham: Hirst & Rennie, 1871. Hardcover. Poor. About 7 x 5 inches. 259 pp. I really don't know where I keep finding these car crashes of books. This one is . . .well read on. Front and back boards are detached and the spine is long since gone. Somebody has done a sterling job of trying to hold all together with adhesive tape, the tape is no more but there is plenty of adhesive residue. The text block is not so much broken as blown asunder. The four pencil sketches are for some strange reason all present and the text, bar a few early pages, is remarkably clean. I'm trying to find something else nice to say about the book but beyond it's almost all there and cleaner than its condition would lead you to expect, I'm at a loss! Much of it is written in dialect, unless the type setter was drunk, oh, and it is a wonderful collection of local memories and descriptions. If I had a connection with Saddleworth I would be loath to cast the poor volume out into the world. Read More
