From front flap: 'The decade 1599-1609, crucial in the development of independent civic governance in Stratford-upon-Avon, was at first dominated by the Corporation's lively efforts to extend its authority at the expense of the lord of the manor. This was followed by a period of consolidation leading eventually to the grant of a second charter in 1610 consolidating rights acquired piecemeal over the previous seven or eight years.'
