Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse of the Warr in Lancashire But in small things as well as in great history has its parallels. In removing the lintel of an old doorway at the mansion of Rushton Hall, in the year 1828, a missal and some other religious books, with a quantity of papers con taining historical notices, were found concealed in the wall. Francis Tresham, one of the family to whom the hall be longed, was implicated in the gunpowder plot, and knowing that to possess such a book as that was at least suspicious, and that out of even the most innocent historic notices treason might be drawn, he had probably thus hid his books.
