To trace a county is to trace a civilisation in miniature. Every parish holds a story. In this substantial instalment of John Hodgson's monumental 'A History of Northumberland', Part III, Volume II, the Victorian clergyman-antiquary brings the landscapes, townships and church livings of 19th century Northumberland into sharp focus, combining meticulous record with an eye for telling detail. Structured as a classic county history volume, it gathers Northumberland parish histories, manorial descents, parish records and notes on English church antiquities into a rich tapestry of northern England history. Long prized by local historians as an essential English regional history book, it also serves as a dependable reference for genealogists engaged in British genealogy research, illuminating the origins of families, fields and foundations that shaped the county. First issued in the era of Victorian county histories, Hodgson's Northumberland has become synonymous with scholarly yet readable antiquarian local history, preserving voices and places otherwise lost. Indispensable for local historians and as a reference for genealogists, this Alpha Editions reissue of John Hodgson Northumberland Part III, Volume II appeals equally to readers of narrative northern England history, parish-based researchers and collectors of classic topographical works, offering both a working tool for archives and a handsome library cornerstone. 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.
