Lydford and its Castle (1879)

This paper by Richard Nicholls Worth dates from 1879 so any conclusions that he draws must be considered in the light of later research. It is notable, however, for including a complete copy of William Browne’s poem or ‘satirical sketch’ entitled “Lydford Law” that starts:

I oft have heard of Lydford law
How in the morn they hang and draw,
And sit in judgment after.

See page 6 (p. 288) et seq.
