- This 130,000-word (384-page) study traces the contribution, over a 100-year period, of a northern-English, land- and mine-owning dynasty to the nation's social, industrial, political, military and cultural history. It uses a variety of primary and secondary historical and biographical sources to highlight the immense significance of Fryston Hall, in Castleford, West Yorkshire, as a major hub of Victorian society, and primary meeting place for the major regal, political and cultural figures of the era. The study traces the corresponding evolution of relations between the landed gentry and local working class.
