Description

No marks or inscriptions. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked blue cloth boards with clear gilt lettering and no bumping to corners. Oversized dust jacket not price clipped with sunning to spine, marking to front and rubbing to edges. Fold-out genealogical table in perfect condition. 320pp. This history of the Bignold family who settled in Norfolk, England records not only the growth of the Norwich Union Insurance Societies from a small local organisation to one of the largest British financial institutions but throws interesting sidelights on English history over more than one-and-a-half centuries. It includes public life in Norwich, local and national politics, wars and crises and eminent national figures.
