Stourton Before Stourhead: A History of the Parish, 1550-1750 by Stuart A. Raymond The history of Stourton parish is a fascinating story that predates the famous gardens at Stourhead. This book explores the parish's rich past, from its Roman Catholic congregation to the lives of its ordinary people, including small farmers, tradesmen, and paupers. By examining the histories of Stourton families, both Catholic and non-Catholic, the author sheds new light on the social and cultural landscape of 17th and 18th century Stourton. This book will be of interest to anyone who visits Stourhead, or who has a connection to the parish. By uncovering the hidden stories of Stourton's past, the author provides a unique perspective on the history of this south-west Wiltshire parish.
