Aspects of Rotherham
The publication of this, the third volume in the Aspects of Rotherham series, marks an important development in the ever growing Aspects Series. From its beginnings in 1993 with Aspects of Barnsley 1, the series now has some twenty titles either in print or programmed for early publication. The present volume continues the tradition of bringing a wide variety of well researched material to the attention of the general reader. Furthermore, the text is augmented with numerous photographs, drawings, diagrams and maps, the vast majority of which have never before been published. Continuing the tradition of the Aspects Series, the volume contains contributions from well known local historians and newcomers being published for the first time. Aspects of Rotherham 3 will appeal equally to the reader with a general interest in the town and the serious student of the history of Rotherham and its people.

The local historian is a peacock for vanity. If he discovers his village among the numerous manors of John of Gaunt, he considers it a duty to the nation to write the history of the dynasty of Lancaster from the meridian of that village. When engaged on the sketch of the Life of Archbishop Rotherham for the Dictionary of National Biography, it seemed to me that a fuller picture of the old prelate's life in its stormier and quieter surroundings might certainly be of interest to Sheffield and...
