The Manor of <strong>Lackham</strong> <strong>Vol</strong> 3 : The Montagu family<br />

This investigation of the history of the manor of <strong>Lackham</strong>, close to<br />

Chippenham and next to Lacock in Wiltshire, started with the current<br />

author’s “The Bluets ; a baronial family and their historical connections<br />

1066- 1400 1 ” and was continued in “The Baynards : a county family and<br />

their historical connections 1360 – 1650 2 .”<br />

This work takes the story through the period of the Civil War and the<br />

Enlightenment to Canal Mania and on into the early part of the nineteenth<br />

century.<br />

For biographies of the authors see the Introduction to <strong>Vol</strong>. 1 “The<br />

Bluets”. Both of the previous volumes in this history, and others, are held<br />

by Wiltshire Libraries, the Wiltshire & Swindon History <strong>Centre</strong> in<br />

Chippenham and online at<br />

As always we owe enormous debts of gratitude to the people who helped<br />

by their willingness to give freely of their time, expertise and knowledge,<br />

and without whom this volume would not have been possible. Individual<br />

credits and thanks are given in the footnotes. Not credited specifically<br />

are the archivists and staff at all the record offices and libraries<br />

consulted and who were unfailingly helpful above and beyond that which<br />

might be expected. We are very lucky to have such dedicated and<br />

knowledgeable people around and we would express our very sincere<br />

gratitude to everyone who helped.<br />

As previously this volume is a (much enlarged) development of a part, in<br />

this case the Montagu section, of the 2005 third edition of “The Manor<br />

of <strong>Lackham</strong>” by Tony Pratt. Information that is new to this edition (the<br />

majority of the work) is in blue, if viewing as an electronic file.<br />

The electronic edition uses hyperlinks to allow you to move more easily<br />

through the work. The figure numbers in the Illustrations index will take<br />

you to the relevant figure, and clicking on the ** symbol there will return<br />
