The Lay Of The Reedwater Minstrel, Illustr. With Notes Historical And Explanatory, By A Son Of Reed R. Roxby — Robert Roxby. This edition presents an 1809 Newcastle-printed verse collection that blends a lyrical Minstrel tradition with antiquarian notes about the Reedwater valley. Structured in dedicatory and narrative stanzas, it celebrates local landscapes, legends, and historical events related to Reeddale and the Northumbrian border. The work weaves poetry with explanations of place-names, folk beliefs, and regional history, including references to Parcy Reed, border skirmishes such as Otterburne and Reidswire, and various local sites. Interspersed with notes drawn from Grose’s Popular Superstitions and other antiquarian sources, the collection serves as both poetry and a compendium of local lore for readers interested in the Northumbrian borderlands.
