This book provides a fascinating insight into the history and proceedings of the ancient town of Kendal in the sixteenth century, a time when the town was just beginning to find its feet as a centre of industry and commerce. The book is based on the minutes of the town council, known as the Boke of Recorde, which provide a wealth of information about the daily life of the town and its people. The reader is given a glimpse into the decisions and debates of the town's aldermen and burgesses, as they grappled with issues such as crime, poverty, and the regulation of trade. The Boke of Recorde also provides valuable insights into the social and economic life of the town, with detailed accounts of everything from the prices of food to the wages of labourers. The author has done an excellent job of making the material accessible to the general reader, providing clear explanations of the historical context and the significance of the events described. This book is a valuable addition to the literature on early modern England, and it will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of Kendal or the history of local government in general.
