Warwickshire
This fully revised and comprehensive guide to the architecture of the English county of Warwickshire features buildings of every kind, from medieval churches to country houses.
Locality and Polity
The book is intended as a contribution to the history of England as a whole in the fifteenth century and to the study of the long-term development of the English landed classes and the English constitution.
Paranormal Warwickshire
Takes the reader into the world of ghosts and spirits in Warwickshire, following their footsteps into the unknown.
Warwickshire Country Houses
Warwickshire boasts some of England's finest country houses, ranging in date from the Middle Ages to the 20th century. This book gives a comprehensive history of 53 of the main houses in the historic county, such as the medieval castle of Warwick and ancient manor houses such as Baddesley Clinton. The often complex histories of these houses are related in detail, with information about the families who built and lived in them, and about the architects, craftsmen and gardeners who created them. There are also accounts in gazetteer format of 100 of the lesser-known houses. General editor: Nicholas Kingsley
Politics, Society and Civil War in Warwickshire, 1620-1660
This book discusses the origins, impact and aftermath of the Civil War in Warwickshire, examining administration, religion and politics in their social context. The focus is mainly on the landed élite, but the importance of relationships between members of the élite and their social inferiors is also stressed. Early chapters discuss the economic and social character of Warwickshire; a middle section examines the onset of the Civil War in 1642; and finally there is a discussion of the economic impact of the war and the administrative, political and religious changes of the 1640s and 1650s, culminating in an assessment of the significance of the Restoration. Dr Hughes takes a critical approach to recent historiography, and challenges the concept of a 'county community'. The book is intended as a contribution to a general understanding of the Civil War, rather than as a study of one particular county.
