The topics covered in the book aim to shed light on forgotten traditions and notable episodes that have shaped the character of the county. The opening of the book introduces a significant historical incident known as the "Lancashire Plot," which took place in Manchester in 1694. This trial involved the prosecution of several gentlemen accused of conspiring against King William of Orange, reflecting the political tensions and local sentiments of the time. The narrative captures the town's excitement and the complexities of the legal proceedings, revealing how perceptions of loyalty and treachery were intertwined in this turbulent period.
