About the book

Richard Gough's The History of Myddle is an extraordinary seventeenth-century account of the inhabitants of the Shropshire parish of Myddle. Rather than concentrating on kings, wars or national politics, Gough records the lives, families, occupations and reputations of ordinary people within his local community. His observations provide a remarkably intimate picture of English rural society, including marriage, inheritance, religion, disputes and everyday relationships. Written with considerable frankness, the work has become an important source for understanding the social history of seventeenth-century England.
