The Papers of Nathaniel Bacon of Stiffkey, Volume II, 1578-1585

Description

The papers of Nathaniel Bacon of Stiffkey (c.1546-1622) provide a lively picture of life in north Norfolk in the late 16th and early 17th centuries and have long been recognised as a major source not only for the pre-occupations of a leading member of the Norfolk gentry but also for the interplay between local and national affairs. 

Volume II includes the superb documentation of Sir Nicholas Bacon’s funeral and his son Nathaniel’s increasing involvement in local administration and farming.
