Historical and descriptive sketches of the town and soke of Horncastle 62327 [Title: Historical and descriptive sketches of the town and soke of Horncastle in the county of Lincoln and several places adjacent] [Author: George Weir] [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/6/2/3/2/62327 ] [Files: 62327-0.txt; 62327-h.htm] For those wishing to know: this is the second edition of George's book on his home town, published 1822, when the small Lincolnshire town had the largest horse fair in Europe. Horncastle has a number of interesting small villages near it and George has a second on each. He's mainly interested in the antiquarian history, and doesn't say much about the town in his day. All the best, David Very sunny England, but with huge white clouds
