Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book guides those interested in compiling parish histories through methodologies and resources for studying local archives. The author, J. Charles Cox, grounds local history in social and topographical contexts, arguing that through the study of local history we may better understand our present surroundings and traditions. By approaching parish history through the lenses of etymology, archaeology, and social institutions like manors and churches, the author suggests methods for considering how the history of a place has been shaped by its people and rulers over time, from prehistory to the present day. Cox's emphasis on both documentary sources and on-the-ground data collection sets a precedent for a comprehensive approach to the study of local history, ensuring that the resulting record is as full and accurate as possible.
