About this title

Synopsis

Behind every estate and entry lies a story of faith, land, and survival in the far north of England. The past speaks directly here. Edited by J. Crawford Hodgson, "Northumbrian Documents of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries" gathers the official register of the estates of Roman Catholics in Northumberland alongside the correspondence of Miles Stapylton, offering a meticulous historical documents collection that opens a rare window onto seventeenth century Northumberland and eighteenth century Northumberland alike. As a primary source edition, it traces the intertwining of Roman Catholic estates, obligations to the Crown, and the pressures of English recusant history in vivid documentary detail. For anyone drawn to Northumberland historical records, English Catholic records or British local history books, this is a work of enduring importance. Land surveys, legal formulae and private letters together illuminate Northumberland land ownership, local networks of kinship and patronage, and the resilient Catholic communities that shaped the region, making it an invaluable Catholic family history source and a trove for Northumberland genealogy research. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Scholars, local historians and curious readers will find a unique documentary portrait of a distinctive corner of England, preserved in the authentic voices and records of its time.
