Books
William Wilshere (1754-1824) was a Hitchin lawyer who by his later years was farming 120 acres of land, mainly to the east of the town, principally for arable crops. This volume contains transcripts of 'Wilshere's Farm and Gardening Memoranda' spanning the years 1809 to 1824. They constitute an unusual and important source for students of agricultural and garden history, indeed, few surviving journals or notebooks from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries include an account of both the farming and the horticultural activities of a particular individual.
