This diary gives a vivid picture of life in a Yorkshire village between the Napoleonic Wars and the Victorian era. Robert Sharp, schoolmaster, observed the affairs of the village and the lives of his fellow-villagers with wry humour and affection. He also gives a contemporary view, at the local level, of events of national and international importance.
