A volume containing a transcript, written in the same mid-nineteenth century hand as compiled Brogyntyn MS II.40, of a 1786 copy of 'Antiquities and Memoirs of the Parish of Middle in the County of Salop', begun in 1700 by Richard Gough of Newton, Myddle, Shropshire, illustrated with additional pedigrees, coats of arms, sketches, including one of Myddle parish church in 1810 (f. 8), and maps and plans, including a plan of the arrangements of pews in Myddle parish church in 1807 (f. 6 verso) which is placed before the plans of the pews in 1701 given by Richard Gough (f. 7 recto-verso); together with a list of illustrations (f. iii) and an alphabetical index of subjects and personal names (ff. 286-288 verso).
The original manuscript, 1700-[c. 1702], is now Shrewsbury, Shropshire Archives MS 1525/1. The work was first published from an imperfect copy by Sir Thomas Phillipps under the title Human Nature Displayed in the History of Middle, by Richard Gough (Broadway: Middle Hill Press, 1834); the first faithful edition was Antiquities & Memoirs of the Parish of Myddle, County of Salop, Written by Richard Gough, A.D. 1700 (Shrewsbury, 1875). Later editions include The History of Myddle, ed. by David Hey (Penguin Books, 1981).
