The Lancashire Gentry and the Great Rebellion, 1640–60 is a scholarly study of Lancashire society and politics during the English Civil War and its aftermath. B. G. Blackwood examines the role of the county gentry, their political allegiances, social status and economic position during one of the most turbulent periods in British history.
The work explores divisions between Royalist and Parliamentarian families, patterns of loyalty and power, and the consequences of the conflict for Lancashire society after the Restoration. Combining detailed archival research with social and political analysis, the book remains an important reference for students and historians of the Civil War period and regional English history.
