Paper. Condition: Fine. 2nd Edition. A4. 40 pages. As new. The principal purposes of this publication are to make available to a wider public that information collected by Plot regarding the Staffordshire Landed Gentry, particularly their seats and their coats of arms, and to identify the individual head of each family generally only identified by surname by Plot. In addition an attempt has been made to identify the family seats in the assessments for the 1666 hearth tax. A short introduction regarding Plot, his collaborators, and his map and book is followed by an alphabetical list of those gentry families appearing on the map. There a brief description of each family is given based on information collected by me for a forthcoming work STAFFORDSHIRE LANDED GENTRY 1086-1680 in which publication fuller references will be found. Certainly there will be many errors of commisssion and omission and I will be pleased to hear of these. There are two appendices. ONE: A LIST OF PLATES OR TABLES To whom dedicated/location/subject/signature. TWO: AN INDEX OF SOME OTHER NAMES IN PLOT.
