Based on a detailed study of the court records of the county of Denbighshire in north-east Wales, focusing on the period from 1660 to 1730, this book shows from the records of crime and the courts both order and disorder, law-keepers and law-breakers, the respectable and the unruly. It also reveals the divisions and inequalities.
