Notes:
The book begins with an account of the last days of Beaulieu Abbey leading to the Dissolution and continues with the lives of the four Earls of Southampton. The second part of the book is concerned with the topography of the Estate and the lives of all who lived there -- the tenant farmers and farmworkers, the clergymen, the shopkeepers and tradesmen. The social history of the times is brought vividly to life using original letters, court and parish documents, wills and inventories; all the result of Bartlett’s research in the Palace House, Winchester and National Archives.
