The surviving records of the Whichcots of Harpswell, apart from title deeds and estate papers, include a large number of household vouchers and many family letters. Most of the latter cover a fairly short period between about 1710 and 1730. The small group of letters printed in this volume have been chosen because of the interesting picture they give of household life and also because of the information which they contain about politics and other county affairs.
John Fardel, recipient of the letters in the second part of this volume was Deputy Registrar at Lincoln from 1783 until his sudden death in 1805, twelve days after the last of these letters. The small group of letters published here provide a glimpse of the functioning of one particular ecclesiastical office at the beginning of the nineteenth century and illustrates some long-established characteristics of office-holding in the church.
