Durham's story is carved into its villages, parishes and stark northern landscape, and William Hutchinson was among the first to write it down in full. In Volume III of his monumental The History and Antiquities of the County Palatine of Durham, an 18th century Durham history of exceptional range, he continues his antiquarian county history through close descriptions of places, people and landmarks. Every parish tells a story. From market towns and remote dales to castles, manor houses and farms, Hutchinson records the county Durham topography and the life of its communities with a care that still feels immediate. For local historians and anyone engaged in genealogy research reference work, this classic english local history reference offers grounded insight into Durham churches and parishes, notable families, patterns of landholding and the evolution of local institutions, making it a valuable british genealogy sourcebook and a cornerstone of historic northern England studies. Long regarded as a standard authority on the history of County Durham and the wider county palatine of Durham, it also holds strong appeal for readers building an english county histories collection or tracing family roots in the region. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This carefully prepared edition returns a foundational work of northern English scholarship to the shelves of researchers, casual readers of the past and serious collectors alike.
