Wollaton Hall and the
Willoughby
Family by Pamela Marshall
Nottingham Civic Society,
1999
ISBN 1902443055
A 140 page paperback which relates the history of the Willoughby family and their relationship with the great house that was at once their glory and the source of their greatest problem: debt.
Their story gives us a fascinating insight into the workings of gentry society in the late Tudor and early Jacobean periods, while the alterations which subsequent generations of Willoughbys chose to impose on the house are equally revealing about social change over the centuries.
