HUDC Handbook: Difference between revisions

As a work on the history of Hoole the Handbook makes a number of significant errors and while it indicates that the writer of the "history" secion had access to some historical works he evidently does not us them well, and seems entirely ignorant (or purposely ignores) some parts of the history and topography of Hoole. He should, as Town Clerk, have known where Flookersbrook flowed, who Finchett-Maddock was (a previous Chester Town ClekClerk and MP) was and omits much of the history relating to his somewhat selective subject-matter. Baldwin the ballonist (Of Hoole Hall) gets no mention nor Lady Broughton (of Hoole House) and he has Malcolm III seemingly at the gates of Chester. Both King Charles and Lord Nelson apparently stroll around Hoole, and the author is utterly confused over Bishops. Some of his facts are correct but the errors make this an unreliable source for things not confirmed elsewhere.
