MORPATHIA — the best in local history

Please note that Morpathia is a separate project from the Morpeth Antiquarian Society main publications programme and all queries should be directed to the author.
 

The Morpathia series aims to provide local history of the highest standard—well researched, well written, and adequately referenced—all statements and conclusions can be tested against the evidence. The usual format is a four-page pamphlet, neatly printed in Times New Roman on Archive Text paper; main text in 9-point; side margins of one inch, plus gutter for punching or binding.
