Correspondence with Lord Boyne




Living only two or three miles away from Burwarton Hall, Wilfred wrote daily to Lord Boyne, sometimes twice daily, posting the letters locally and addressing them to Burwarton, Grosvenor Gardens or Brancepeth Castle. His letters generally served to update Lord Boyne with estate matters but occassionally touch on Dodgson family matters. This vast correspondence spanning the years 1873 to 1902 sheds considerable light on the family and the life of a Victorian land agent and features in the forthcoming book.
