A Voice from Richmond Yorkshire: the Letters of Henry Wood, 1825-1832
Leslie Anne Hendra
In 1825, Henry Wood of Richmond, North Yorkshire, began a lively correspondence with a friend in Newcastle upon Tyne. A keen observer of people and current affairs, Henry provided his friend with witty, colourful accounts of events in and around Richmond, including election hijinks, horseracing, ballooning and visits by travelling theatrical companies, lecturers and conjurors. He also discussed literature, art and botany, mused on love and courtship, and described the latest doings and saying of various Richmond ?characters?. Written between 1825 and 1832, the sixty-six surviving letters bring late Georgian Richmond to life and make delightful reading for those interested in local, social and family history. The letters are accompanied by biographical information about Henry Wood and his friends, and a detailed index.
