Transforming English rural society : the Verneys and the Claydons, 1600-1820

Broad, John 1945- (Author).

Summary: John Broad explores the rise and fall of the Verney family of Middle Claydon, Buckinghamshire. He shows how the family were impelled by a strong dynastic imperative, how they managed their estates to maximise income and transformed three local villages into 'open' and 'closed' parishes.
