The Willoughby Papers
The Willoughby Papers: A New Book Series
From time to time, while working through archives and historical records, one encounters something that does not quite sit comfortably in the narrative as it has been handed down.
Not an outright contradiction, history is rarely so obliging but a small inconsistency. A detail that has been smoothed over. A conclusion accepted perhaps a little too readily.
It is from such moments that The Willoughby Papers has grown.
I am pleased to announce the launch of this new historical mystery series, following H. A. Willoughby, an English antiquarian whose research brings him into contact with documents and discoveries that suggest the past may not always be quite as settled as it appears.
The Series So far...
Historical mysteries uncovering the secrets hidden in the archives of the past.
The Willoughby Papers are a collection of historical investigations recorded by the antiquarian H. A. Willoughby, third son of the lord of Caldworth Hall.
Across Great Britain, forgotten manuscripts, buried relics, and neglected archives reveal stories long concealed beneath the official record of history. Each volume in the collection recounts a separate inquiry in which archaeological discovery and documentary research combine to illuminate a mystery that powerful men once sought to suppress.
What becomes of the truths that history chooses not to remember?
From the battlefields of the Wars of the Roses to the shattered ambitions of the Jacobite rising, and from the lost intrigues of Roman Britain to the quiet legends of the English countryside, Willoughby’s investigations uncover truths that history itself has attempted to forget.
