Whittington and the Glorious Revolution by S H Stones

I was reading a newspaper article in the Sheffield Daily Telegraph 12 March 1908. It references a book which was written in 1908 by Samuel Henry Stones who lived in Old Whittington.

It lists the book as a sixpenny publication, I thought I would check if it was available to buy and it was on Amazon at £55.47! I decided to check the local library and they had a copy available to borrow.

It has the story of the Revolution but what I find interesting are the references Mr Stones makes to people and places who were living in Old Whittington in 1908. I will post some of this information later, but for now there is an interesting photograph of the 1888 bicentenary celebrations of the Revolution. It was a very well attended affair and probably many of our ancestors could be on this photograph (if they came from the Whittington area of course).
