During the eighteenth century ladies of high society kept
handwritten notes on recipes, remedies, gardening and household
tips in their personal House Books and it became fashionable to
exchange the most successful with friends and neighbours. Very few
of these fragile House Books have survived and this compilation
celebrates the discovery of two: one from Lady Talbot of Lacock
Abbey and the other from Lady Louisa Conolly of Castletown House.
This charming compilation is full of fascinating information and
useful tips and gives an insight into the lives of those living in
the grand houses of the eighteenth century.
