TRANSACTIONS OF THE HISTORIC SOCIETY OF LANCASHIRE AND CHESHIRE

FOR THE YEAR 1957

\ VOLUME 109

LIVERPOOL PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY 1958 Made and Printed in Great Britain by C. Tinling & Co., Ltd., Liverpool, London and Prescot, EDITORIAL NOTE Each generation writes its own histories and declares out of date the work of its predecessors. Our generation is no excep­ tion, but we feel that we have the justification not only of new interpretations and values placed upon accepted facts, but also of a growing mass of new evidence, chiefly derived from local archives, which is constantly adding to, modifying, and even contradicting existing knowledge. Every completed research project is a piece in a jig-saw puzzle, which the hands of many patient scholars are slowly putting together. In this volume three papers reveal a particularly clear glimpse of the picture, which the jig-saw, of which they are part, will ultimately present. The excavation at Walton-le-Dale now a season ahead of the printed, interim report, just as the report is a season ahead of the paper read before the Society is one of a series of archaeological investigations which is compelling historians to think again about the activities of the Romans in north-west Britain. Mr. Awty's paper is a key piece in the new picture which is emerging of the industrial activities of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and Mr. Rose's study of John Finch rescues from oblivion one who, in his own age, was as representative of radical Liverpool as William Roscoe was in his. The Society wishes to thank Mr. L. M. Angus-Butterworth for supplying the block of Dutton Hall, Mr. S. A. Harris for a donation towards the cost of illustrations, and Dr. G. Chand­ ler for permission to reproduce from his Liverpool the drawing of the Old Custom House. It also gratefully acknowledges a grant of £40 made by the Council for British Archaeology towards the cost of printing "Roman Walton-le-Dale". 20 August 1958. J. J. BAGLEY, The University, Honorary Editor. Liverpool.

The Council wishes it to be known that authors alone are responsible for the opinions and statements in their several papers. Contributors to these TRANSACTIONS are advised to com­ municate with the Honorary Editor. Members who wish to read papers should communicate with the Honorary Secretary.
