History And Antiquities Of Nottingham Vol 1 Classic Reprint

This is the third of a series of four books detailing the history of Nottingham. The previous three are The Nottingham Date Book 850 - 1845. Thoroton's, 1797. and John Blacknere's of 1815. This book contains many historic facts about Nottingham. The town began in the 6th century as a small settlement called Snottaingaham. Nottingham was originally a fortified settlement or burgh. The town had a ditch around it and an earth rampart with a wooden palisade on top. In 920 the English king recaptured Nottingham and he built a bridge across the Trent. Nottingham was famous for its Lace during the industrial revolution. Today it is the City of Nottingham.

Excerpt from History and Antiquities of Nottingham, Vol. 1 It is not an affected humility, but proceeds from the sincere and deep feeling of my heart, that I acknowledge with gratitude the generous kindness of the subscribers who have enabled me to commence, and carry on to completion, the present work. To their honour I must bear testimony, that the patronage promised before the first sheet was put to press, has been steadily and cheerfully continued to the end. Perhaps a more remarkable example of public candour was never witnessed, than has been shown in the ready reception which this book has met with; for notwithstanding its many imperfections, which I beg explicitly to acknowledge, the number of patrons has gone on so fast increasing, that every disposable copy of the entire edition was sold long before the latter numbers were printed or compiled! Before adverting to the distinguishing characteristics of this work, it is due to their talents and industry, that a grateful acknowledgment should be made of the labours of those distinguished men, by whom I have been preceded, and to whom I am so much indebted. John Rouse, a monk of Warwick, was the first to write a "History of Nottingham," about the year 1500, Leland refers to it, p. 7; it is not now extant, and probably it might have perished in the general destruction of literature that unhappily distinguished the overthrow of the papal authority in England, and the establishment of the Anglican hierarchy in the reign of Henry VIII.
