About this book

Lancashire gets a single-volume popular history from Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Fishwick, who also wrote on Kirkham and Rochdale. His preface explains that he kept to the county as a whole, left out notices of local authors and celebrities, and rejected anything he could not well authenticate. Chapters run from pre-Roman times through the Romans, the Saxon and the Dane, the Normans and Plantagenets and the Tudors to the Rebellions and the eighteenth century, with a long chapter on religion. The introduction gives the county's boundaries: 86 miles long, 45 across. Part of the Popular County Histories series, 1894.
