| Summary | "The Strife of the Roses and Days of the Tudors in the West" by W. H. Hamilton Rogers is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work delves into English history during the tumultuous times of the Wars of the Roses and the Tudor period, focusing specifically on notable figures and events from the west of England. It explores the lives of various noble families, such as the Willoughbys, Paveleys, and Cheneys, highlighting their contributions and struggles during this significant era. The opening of the book introduces the town of Westbury and sets the stage for a journey through history, referencing the industrial backdrop of the late 19th century while simultaneously reflecting on the grandeur of its past. The narrator seeks to uncover the legacy of Robert Willoughby, the first Baron Willoughby de Broke, as he traces the historical significance of Brooke Hall and its former occupants. Through dialogue with a local informant, the narrator learns about the modern (yet ancient) landscapes intertwined with the noble lineage's rich history, suggesting an exploration of both physical memorials and the lingering impact of the past on contemporary memories.
