Historic Sites of Lancashire and Cheshire
A Wayfarer's Notes in the Palatine Counties, Historical, Legendary, Genealogical, and Descriptive.
Historic Sites of Lancashire and Cheshire, published in Manchester in 1883, is a collection of what James Croston, an antiquarian and fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, called a wayfarer's notes in the two palatine counties. Each chapter is built around a visit to a place and the families and events connected with it: Swarthmoor Hall and George Fox, the founder of the Quakers; Alderley and the Stanleys; Rivington and the Pilkingtons; Handforth Hall and Sir William Brereton; Cartmel and its priory church; Lyme Hall and the Leghs; and Jemmy Dawson and the Jacobite rising of 1745, among others. Croston mixes description, legend, genealogy and history in a leisurely style. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
