Steephill Castle, Ventnor, Isle of Wight

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Then I learned that Mr. James Richards had already accumulated a large quantity of Antiquarian and Biographical matter relating to previous owners of the Estate, and even the Relatives of those formerly connected with the Castle. These interesting notes will, as a whole, I hope, he published in another form, and I was kindly allowed to make use of what was necessary for the purpose of this publication. Mr. John Morgan Richards, the owner of the Estate, desired that the Castle, with the surroundings, should bulk the chief position of the work; with such notes of Towns and Places to follow as were of paramount interest - nothing more. These wishes I have endeavoured to carry out so as to make the Book of chief interest to the Friends, and Guests - Past, Present and Future, of the genial Host and Hostess of the Castle, which is the Gem of the Undercliff.
