Scope and content

Autograph notes of William Retlaw Williams towards the compilation of his The Parliamentary History of the County of Hereford (Brecknock, 1896), including notes on Herefordshire parliaments from the early thirteenth century through to the nineteenth century.
Loose in an envelope are two letters, 1896 and 1901, from Williams to Frances Christina Baldwyn-Childe of Kyle Park, Worcestershire; a postcard showing Brinfield Court, Herefordshire, which was burnt down in August 1925; press cuttings, 1887, from the Hereford Times; and a printed advertisement for William Retlaw Williams, The Parliamentary History of Worcestershire (Hereford, 1897). These loose items were found in a copy of Williams's The Parliamentary History of the County of Hereford which at one time belonged to Frances Christina Baldwyn-Childe, and were transferred from the Department of Printed Books at NLW in 1980.
