Travel writing

This website includes the complete texts of books describing journeys around Britain, written between the twelfth and nineteenth centuries. Selecting one of the links below will take you to the first reference to Baptist Mills within the selected text. This will not always be a description of a visit: travellers often mention places other than where they are, for example as a basis for comparison.
