I’m currently researching contemporary book culture in Scotland, a project that looks to understand the contribution Scottish cultural organisations, literary festivals, creative retreats, the cultural industries and the heritage sector make to contemporary Scottish Literature and asks about the influence and impact these institutions have on both the kinds of writing being produced and the ways in which it is interpreted and valued.

The original village of Aneslei was a small irregular built village in a picturesque location to the South of Annesley Hall. The old Annesley Village was completely demolished by 1850. At this time most people worked on the land for the two local landowners, the Chaworth Musters family and the Duke of Portland. With the coming of the Industrial Revolution all this changed. his wife (who in another (fn. 26) Recovery the same term claimed against Richard Illingworth, Knight,) the Mannor of Kirkeby Woodhouse, with the appurtenances, two mess. shortly after confirmed by Pope Alexander the third, in the second year of his pontificate, in the year of our Lord 1161. The saga was finally concluded only in the 1770s, when, in a final flurry of lawsuits, Richard's bigamy (­"irregular and immoral way of life", it was called) was at last exposed. There was, the House of Lords' Committee of Privileges announced, no legitimate heir to his ill-gotten titles: the earldom of Anglesea was extinct. This was not the predictable, anti-climactic ending that Ekirch, when he set out on the story, says he most feared, but "a bittersweet one, full of poetic justice. It truly bears out that old French adage: Revenge is a dish best served cold".

All Saints' church (C12 and later, listed grade I, scheduled ancient monument) is located to the north of Annesley Hall and is surrounded by a walled churchyard. In 1875 it was replaced as the parish church by the church in Annesley Woodhouse and in the late C20 it became unsafe and was partially demolished. The main entrance to the churchyard is off the A608. Steps immediately north-east of the Hall lead to a now (1999) disused entrance to the churchyard, 30m north-east from the Hall. There are views from the churchyard to the south over the parkland. Thomas Crapper, notable plumber (who did not invent the flush toilet, but promoted it), on his retirement lived at 12 Thornsett Road. [17] And after seven years spent with trial transcripts, family documents, newspaper reports, House of Lords records and a treasure trove of nearly 400 legal depositions unearthed in Dublin and at the National Archives in Kew, it is now clear to Ekirch that those Memoirs are, essentially, true. "Annesley wasn't the author, but he was the source of the ­information," he says. "You don't have to dig far to substantiate it." fn. 23) By a Fine, 6 E. 4, eight mess. three hundred acres of Land, one hundred of meadow, and two hundred of pasture, with the appurtenances in Annesley, Annesley Woodhouse,Annesley Old Church is a medieval building, which fell into disuse after a new church, All Saints Church was opened in 1874 a mile away, to accommodate the growing mining community.
