Clark gathers half a century of events in Dudley and its neighbourhood: the death of the Viscount Dudley and Ward, the building of chapels and churches, reform agitation and its speeches, poor relief and the workhouse. Bound in is the seventeenth-century ironmaster Dud Dudley’s account of his trials and his Metallum Martis, on smelting iron with coal.
