Description: West Penwith at the Time of Charles II Editor Helen beaufort-Murphy Taken from Introduction: "West Penwith at the time of Charles II" began with a study of the Hearth Tax Returns for 1664 with members of the group choosing their favourite parishes. Wanting to know more than just the names of those on the list and how many hearths they had, members then researched specific subjects in greater depth. Using primary sources they unearthed fascinating facts about life at the end of the 17th century. Although Charles II reigned from 1660-'85 some of the authors have written about events before and after this period. For the reader interested in family history Margaret Perry's research on Penzance merchants uncovered a seating plan for 220 named people for St. Mary's Chapel dated 1674 and there are a further 200 names in the surname index at the end of this book. contents include: one hearth homes, the parson's evidence, Zennor, household goods, merchants, families, the Quakers and more....see photos for contents page. copyright 1998 ; stiff soft cover ; about very good condition showing handling wear ; front and back cover have light crease lines ; gift note written on title page, otherwise, inside pages appear to have no writing ; good binding ; 76 pages ; black & white illustrations along with some color photos throughout
