Editor: Patrick Eyres

Set against the backdrop of the political instability generated by the Jacobite attempts to restore the exiled Stuart kings to the British throne, eleven authors explore the symbolic meanings embedded within the country estates of the Tory, Jacobite and dissident Whig landowners who formed the parliamentary opposition to the mainstream Whig governments that managed Britain on behalf of the Hanoverian Kings George I and George II.

This 1st ‘Surrogate NAJ, enlarged and in colour’ comprises the proceedings of the 2010 Wentworth Castle conference and was published on behalf of the Wentworth Castle Heritage Trust. It is bound within a cover embellished with a specially commissioned wrap-around photograph of Stainborough Castle.
