Quakers of Cambridgeshire
and the Isle of Ely. |
|
This is a very interesting book that we
have extracted the Cambridgeshire part from, the full
title of the book is, A Collection of the Sufferings of
the People called Quakers, and was published in 1753,
but gives accounts as far back as 1653, has many names
from this area and details of what became of them
including their punishments because of their Faith, is
an absolutely fascinating read.
|
|
|
|
A great
resource for anyone with interest in the
political and social history of both
Cambridgeshire and Huntingdonshire |
|
|
|
This is a
little handwritten book dated 1817 in our
possession, that once belonged to a local Live
Stock Farmer, it is unique and is a book of
recipes of old fashioned Cures for all manner of
disorders in Cattle, Sheep and Horses, you can
read how they cured these things with local
ingredients, some sound pretty hair raising.
Only available from us. |
