Isobel Robinson. New Series 29 (2019).
Dr Peter Prattinton of Bewdley came from a family of grocers and merchants, but was able to live as a gentleman of leisure, and to devote himself to the study of his native county. Over the following decades he built up an impressive collection of documents, an invaluable resource to later generations. The 574 letters in this correspondence of Peter Prattinton provide an unrivalled insight into the world of the early nineteenth-century antiquary, also yielding a wealth of information on personal matters, on local events in Bewdley and Worcestershire, and on day-to-day life in the county two hundred years ago.
