The Hornby Castle Dispute. The story of an extraordinary legal case. John Marsden was a mentally retarded Lancashire gentleman, looked after by his aunt. A servant, George Wright, became the aunt's lover and steward of the Marsden's estate and continued in this fashion after the aunt's death. When John Marsden finally died, his will effectively left Hornby Castle to the steward. The will was then contested by the heir at law basing his claim on the incapacity of his cousin to understand and therefore endorse a complex will... a fascinating story.

2003.
Slightly better than very good condition.
The mud buildings of the English Solway Plain known locally as "Dabbins" or "Daubins" are little known outside the immediate area, but they continued to be built until the early years of the twentieth century. The author has studied in detail most of the 150 or so farmhouses, cottages and farm buildings which remain and has attempted to trace their development in form and in constructional methods. These were peasant buildings, build by their owners for their own use, and they continue to provide warm, comfortable, well-insulated homes to this day. Green cardwraps. B/w photos and plans. ISBN: 1873124384. Initials and date in ink to half-title page else contents clean.
