This book is perhaps the most comprehensive ever written about the English Wheats. The author has researched ancient records including manorial rolls, heraldic visitations, the earliest wills and church records to find as many references as possible to the Wheat name. The result is a fascinating story about the evolution of the Wheats from peasants in 14th century England to merchants, lawyers, landowners, baronets, other professionals, as well as to agricultural labourers and industrial workers, through to the end of the 19th century. The links to Shakespeare, the Churchills, the Titanic and royalty amongst others, and the origins of the Wheat name and coat of arms will be of interest to anyone who bears the Wheat name. The comprehensive family charts by town and county, some reaching as far back as the 16th century, will be useful to those who are researching their own English Wheat roots.
