Summary "History of the Fylde of Lancashire" by John Porter is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the history of the Fylde area in Lancashire, exploring its ancient inhabitants, including the Britons, Romans, Anglo-Saxons, and Danes, and how these groups shaped the land over centuries. The book emerges as both a tribute to the region’s past and a detailed exploration of its development through various historical epochs. The opening of the text introduces the geographical and historical context of the Fylde, highlighting its early inhabitants known as the Setantii, and their lifestyle amidst the surrounding forests and marshes. Porter outlines the subsequent Roman conquest and the impact of Norse invasions, providing insights into the culture, customs, and migrations that influenced the area. He includes references to historical figures and events that helped define the region, setting the stage for a comprehensive exploration of Lancashire’s history throughout the following chapters, which promise to cover various significant periods and changes in this rich historical tapestry.
