Synopsis

A Short History of the Town and Chase of Sutton Coldfield: With Two Maps and Many Pictures presents the full story of Sutton Coldfield from ancient forests and Roman roads to Shakespearean times and beyond. This edition weaves maps, illustrations, and concise narrative to reveal a town shaped by battles, charters, and civic charity.

Discover how Sutton sits beside a changing landscape—from ancient British sites and a Roman fort to the medieval town charter and the rise of public parks. The book connects local legends, key figures, and moments in English history to the everyday life of Sutton’s people, schools, and charities through the centuries.

What you’ll experience
- A clearly organized history that moves from pre conquest to modern times, with maps and pictures to aid understanding
- Insight into the town’s role during the Civil War, Puritan influence, and the evolution of Vesey’s charity
- Context about local landmarks, churches, schools, and the story behind Sutton Park’s care and use
- Connections to literary history, including mentions of Shakespeare, Milton, and other figures tied to the area

Ideal for readers who love local history, Warwickshire heritage, and the intersection of place and national events. It’s also a useful reference for students, genealogists, and visitors exploring Sutton Coldfield’s past.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
