 About SLHA Publications Local History Archaeology Industrial Archaeology Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology |
The History of LincolnshireA Series of 12 VolumesThese flagship publications of the Society are scholarly accounts of the history and archaeology of the County. Each book has been written by an expert and, at the time of writing, took account of the latest research on the particular period or topic under discussion. Each book has been prepared under the direction of the SLHA History of Lincolnshire Committee, of which Professor John V Beckett, University of Nottingham, is the current chairman. Further details of the Committee, its operation and plans for the future may be obtained directly from Professor Beckett, e-mail john.beckett@nottingham.ac.uk, or via SLHA. (A brief history of the publishing project is attached.) The original task undertaken by the Society to prepare 12 volumes covering the main historical periods of the County's development was completed in 2000. A new series entitled Studies in the History of Lincolnshire was then launched to deal in detail with particular aspects of Lincolnshire's past. The Committee plans to publish several new titles in the near future. Prospective authors are encouraged to submit proposals to Professor Beckett.

Studies in the History of Lincolnshire 
Traces the development of the landscape and people of the Wolds in a period of momentous change, assessing the contribution of the great landowners, the tenant farmers, and the labourers of the region. It looks at the market towns and the role of their trades people and provides a clear overview of how society developed in this fascinating and neglected part of the county. 
The late 19th and early 20th centuries were one of the major times of transformation in the county's farming, despite some difficult economic conditions. Mechanisation and scientific techniques were applied to farming. In this book the course of these developments in Lincolnshire's farming history is traced along with the rise of those particular features of the county's agricultural landscape: the potato and bulbs. 2. History of Lincolnshire Series  Anglo-Saxon Lincolnshire (Volume III) Presents an interpretation of Lincolnshire's history from the collapse of Roman power to the Norman Conquest. Apart from Domesday Book, very few contemporary texts say much about this part of England, but a great deal can be gleaned from the study of coins, place- and personal names, the remains of Anglo-Saxon churches and stone monuments.  Churches, Chapels and Parish Communities in Lincolnshire : 1660- 1900 (Volume IX) Seeks to understand developments in religious life between 1660 and 1900 through an exploration of its place in the lives of local communities of the County. This is an account of how the development of Protestant dissent, the Evangelical Revival, the rise of Methodism, the transformation of the Church of England, and the changes in the Roman Catholic Church affected and were shaped by the people of Lincolnshire. 3.
