Step back into the lanes, hamlets and great houses of old Staffordshire, guided by one of the county's earliest and most devoted historians. Staffordshire comes alive in detail. In A Topographical History of Staffordshire, William Pitt surveys the landscape, tracing the character of Staffordshire towns and villages, their churches, manors, industries and families, to create an indispensable Staffordshire local history book and classic english topographical history book. Part county gazetteer, part narrative journey, it brings together staffordshire parish histories, antiquarian notes and observations that illuminate 19th century Staffordshire for local historians, family researchers and curious general readers alike. For anyone exploring Staffordshire England history or engaged in Staffordshire genealogy research, this rich british county history reference offers contemporary insight into landholding families, settlement patterns and the evolving face of the county at a pivotal moment in the nation's past. Victoria County History readers, county gazetteer collectors and those seeking an authoritative english county topography guide will value Pitt's careful eye for place and memory, as well as the period flavour of his prose. 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, ready to grace the shelves of historians, bibliophiles and lovers of classic local history.
