It takes up the story of the town's government at the point where the Restoration settlement was taking effect and continues through the dramatic events of 1685-88 when King James II sought to impose a more centralised control over the cities and boroughs of the kingdom. Subsidiary themes include the precautions against plague in 1665; shortage of coinage, leading to the issue and recall of the town's half-pennies in 1667-74; references to non-conformity in 1668-69 and the lives of some of the Corporation members. The text, transcribed in full, is accompanied by a detailed introduction, setting the governance of Restoration Grantham in its wider context.'
