Chapter Chapter 1 in Financing the Landed Estate, 2019, pp 1-23 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces the existing literature surrounding the landed estate and argues that the historiography has yet to fully research the financial history of the estate beyond the country house and its consumption. More generally, it examines how the Dorset and Somerset estate of the Marquis of Anglesey was created, how it came to be in his possession and its management by the Castleman family. In essence it lays out the narrative of how an estate was the sum of a range of socio-economic and political processes which were interlinked by the same financial underpinning surrounding the decision-making process.
