Selection of correspondence from the house which was once Little
Malvern priory, illuminating life at the time. In 1538 John
Russell, secretary to the Council of the Welsh Marches, acquired
the dissolved priory of Little Malvern, where his descendants, the
Beringtons, still live. This selection from the family letters in
the WorcestershireRecord Office vividly illustrates the impact on
Worcestershire of the Reformation and the Civil War. Among much
else, it includes correspondence with Thomas Cromwell and Lord
Chancellor Audley (who was John Russell's brother-in-law);
Elizabethan medical prescriptions and business letters;
correspondence about evading the penal laws against Catholics; a
mock-heroic Latin skit on James I; a personal letter from one of
the Jesuits executed at the time of theOates Plot, and an official
certificate that Little Malvern had been (unsuccessfully) searched
for priests. The letters themselves are accompanied by an
introduction and explanatory notes. Michael Hodgetts has written
extensively on Recusant History and is an acknowledged expert on
English Catholic families and their houses.
