This diary gives a vivid picture of life in a Yorkshire village
between the Napoleonic Wars and the Victorian era. Robert Sharp,
schoolmaster, village constable, shopkeeper, and tax collector, was
in a unique position to observe the affairs of the village and the
lives of his fellow-villagers, whom he describes with wry humour
and affection, often quoting their conversations verbatim. He also
took a keen interest in what was happening outside the village,
both nationally and internationally, giving the reader a valuable
insight into how these events were reflected at the local level and
how they were viewed by contemporaries.
