Transforming English Rural Society: The Verneys and the Claydons, 1600-1820 (Cambridge Studies in Population, Economy and Society in Past Time) Book

John Broad explores the rise and fall of the Verney family of Middle Claydon, Buckinghamshire, demonstrating the family's rise to wealth impelled by a strong dynastic imperative. He shows how the family managed its estates to maximise income and used its wealth to transform the Claydon villages and landscape, creating a pattern of 'open' and 'closed' parishes. Based on the formidable Verney family archive with its abundant correspondence, this book will appeal to anyone interested in the English countryside as a dynamic force in English social, economic and demographic history.Read More
