Kate Collingwood: Lower End Farm - History of a Worcestershire Farm, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

When Thomas Wright died in 1675 he left £8 to his wife Sibill to build herself a house. 322 years later another Sibelle put it up for sale with a pile of wills and mortgage documents to prove title. In between it remained in the ownership of local families.

This book is the story of those families; it details the history of Lower End Farm but also that of the other houses they owned and how they lived. It shows the closely woven nature of village inter-relationships and brings the past in Great Comberton into sharper focus.
