THE GLOUCESTERSHIRE GENTRY

by Joan Johnson

Published by Alan Sutton. 1st. 1989

Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. A comprehensive survey of the landowner families of the 15th - 19th centuries drawn from county and estate records, and illuminated with revealing glimpses of everyday life - from diary entries, household accounts, marriage contracts, and personal and official correspondence. Brown boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and illustrations. 269 pages including index.

SIGNED by the author (no dedication) to title page. Top & tail of spine lightly shelf-worn. Else a lovely copy. Pictorial dustwrapper is lightly scuffed, laminate is starting to peel away at rear edges.
