Book Description
Excerpt from The Diary of Walter Powell of Llantilio Crossenny in the County of Monmouth, Gentleman, 1603-1654 Walter Powell, the author of this diary, was the son of Thomas Powell of Penrhos. His family claimed, as do many Welsh families, to be of Norman origin, descending in the paternal line from Sir Walter de Bredwarden, who was seated at Bredwarden in Herefordshire soon after the Conquest. Settling at Crickhowel the family became Welsh, and after a succession of ap's Thomas Powell, or Thomas ap Howel David Rawling, is found resident in the parish of Penrhos in the sixteenth century. Here his son Walter Powell, author of the Diary, was born on the 25th of March, 1581. The diary commences with extracts from the parish register book of Tregaer, long since lost, relating to the family of his first wife Margaret, daughter of William ap John Evans of Llwyn-y-gaer and Cefn-garw, both ancient seats in that parish. On his marriage in 1604, when only 22 years of age, he settled in a house of his own in the parish of Llanarth - which place this was there is nothing to show, but it may have been Cefn-coch, a farm belonging to the Powells for many years afterwards. In 1611 he moved from Llanarth and came to live at the vicarage at Llantilio. His reason for so doing may have been that his uncle Hugh Powell was vicar. In January 1611/2 he took the new house at Llantilio, which stood on the site of the present mansion of Llantilio Court, having had a grant, dated 13 May, 1611, of the farm from William Sterrell.

Book Description
In the first in-depth study of how gender determined perceptions and experiences of illness in early modern England, Olivia Weisser invites readers into the lives and imaginations of ordinary seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Britons. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including personal diaries, medical texts, and devotional literature, this unique cultural history enters the sickrooms of a diverse sampling of men and women, from a struggling Manchester wigmaker to the diarist Samuel Pepys. The resulting stories of sickness offer unprecedented insight into what it was like to live, suffer, and inhabit a body in England more than three centuries ago.

Book Description
The English Civil War was a time of disruption, suffering and persecution for many people, not least the clergy of the established church, who found themselves ejected from their livings in increasing numbers as Parliamentarian forces extended their control across the country. Yet, historians have tended to downplay their suffering, preferring in most cases to concentrate instead upon the persecution suffered by dissenters after the Restoration. Drawing upon an impressive array of sources - most notably the remarkable set of family and parish memories collected by John Walker in the early years of the eighteenth century - this book refocuses attention on the experiences of the sequestered loyalist clergy during the turbulent years of the 1640s and 1650s. The study highlights how the experiences of the clergy can help illuminate events in wider society, whilst at the same time acknowledging the unique situation in which Church of England ministers found themselves. For although the plundering, imprisonment and personal loss of the clergy was probably indicative of the experiences of many ordinary people on middle incomes, the ever present religious dimension to the conflict ensured particular attention was paid to those holding religious office. During the war and interregnum, zealous religious reformers attacked every aspect of established religion, targeting both existing institutions and those who supported them. Clergy were ejected on an unprecedented scale, suffering much violence and persecution and branded as 'malignants' and 'baal's priests'. By re-examining their history, the book offers a balanced assessment of the persecution, challenging many preconceptions about the ejected loyalists, and providing new insights into the experiences and legacies of this influential group.
