At the heart of rural Lincolnshire, the small parish of Partney holds a long memory of English life, faith and work. The past lives on here. In Historical Notes on the Parish of Partney, Lincolnshire, Gilbert George Walker brings together a rich tapestry of traces and local tradition, creating a classic local parish history book that rewards browsing and close study alike. Drawing on parish records and registers, manorial references and earlier antiquaries, this quietly authoritative church history monograph traces medieval Lincolnshire parish life through to the changes of the nineteenth century, illuminating the fabric of the church, the patterns of worship and charity, and the village social history Lincolnshire communities built around them. For anyone engaged in English local history study or for family history researchers Lincolnshire, Walker's careful notes provide names, dates, customs and place-names that make a valuable Lincolnshire genealogy research guide, and a rewarding companion to the Victoria County History Lincolnshire and other standard works. Its insights into medieval church life England and Victorian local history Lincolnshire secure its place in any serious English parish history collection, while its approachable style suits the curious general reader as much as the specialist. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, this work is restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure, prepared for readers who wish to hold a living fragment of England's parish past in their hands.
