Rockingham Castle and the Watsons (Classic Reprint)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rockingham Castle and the Watsons But, on the valuable services of the author being called in to examine and tabulate a mass of papers preserved in the Castle, so much was found of considerable interest which had not yet seen the light, that the present form of narrative was adopted, which, it is hoped, may be of some value not only as a contribution to the Archaeology of Northamptonshire, but as one more side light thrown on the bye-ways of English history. The close search which has been made among the documents at the Castle has brought to light several points connected with the history of the family which have hitherto remained in some obscurity.
