In 1542 William Ramsden bought his wifes family home at Longley and
so began a long association between the Ramsdens and Huddersfield
which lasted until Sir John Frecheville Ramsden sold his greatly
increased Huddersfield estate to the Corporation in 1920. This
collection of essays is published to commemorate the centenary of
that event. Seven local historians examine different aspects of the
Ramsden familys relationship with the town and its inhabitants,
especially in the nineteenth century. The book incorporates new
research and gives fresh insights into the events which led to
Huddersfield becoming the town that bought itself a century ago.
