Description: "This book describes change on the Hornby Castle estates from about 1580 to the middle of the eighteenth century. It is clear that these changes were partly driven by events within the estates - particularly the power struggles between the lord of the manor and his tenants. However external events such as the Civil War and economic factors such as the ever increasing livestock trades or the transfer of the hemp cloth trade to Lancaster also had their effect" -- Provided by publisher.
