After a life of public service Sir Matthew Nathan retired to the
Manor of West Coker near Yeovil in Somerset. He developed a keen
interest in his new home; he began first to read about it, then to
deepen and widen his research, and then to turn his knowledge into
this connected account, which was originally published in 1957. The
local sources - the manorial records of his own estate, the parish
and county records - were very rich. With great thoroughness he
incorporated them in a local history of the area up to the
nineteenth century. Nearly all the forces which affect the affairs
of the nation can be traced in the records of the area. It is local
and amateur history, but of the best calibre, and there is much to
interest historians interested in local records. These are
liberally quoted and there are detailed maps.
