The Blacketts have cast long shadows over the region's history as
Newcastle merchants, miners, the builders of Wallington Hall and
political figures in the 1600s and 1700s. Yet historians over the
years have previously found it hard to get out from those shadows
and to see more than the silhouettes of myth. Greg Finch's flowing
account of the first three Sir William Blacketts, based on
extensive new research, now dispels those myths. He reveals a vivid
story of a dramatic rise from modest origins, the opening up of the
regional lead industry, the creation and operation of a huge
business and the crises that followed during a turbulent century of
conflict and progress.
