Originally published as part of Holinshed's 'Chronicles', the work recounted Elizabethan England's geographic, economic, social, religious and political features during the youth of William Shakespeare. This work was published by the New Shakspere Society, founded by Furnival in 1873.

Roy and Nina Merley owned the house for thirty-five years and were responsible for reinstating the Tudor style gardens and renovating the house to its former glory. Their bookplate has an image of the house in the background, with a blackbird eating a worm in the foreground. 'Series VI. No. 1' to verso of title page volume I. 'Series VI.
