Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a fascinating insight into the daily life of 16th and 17th century Sheffield through the accounts of the town's Burgesses. Originally responsible for the civil governance of the town, their detailed records offer a glimpse into the everyday upkeep of a growing urban centre. From the repair of roads and bridges, equipment of soldiers, and the regulation of archery, to the wages of the town musicians and payments to the swineherd's wife, every aspect of civic life is recorded here. The author skillfully illuminates the historical context and thematic depth of these accounts, demonstrating how they reveal the challenges and triumphs of a community in an era of significant social, economic, and religious change. This is a valuable resource for anyone interested in local history, the development of urban governance, or the richness of everyday life in early modern England.
