Books
The Isham family library at Lamport Hall was developed over many generations, beginning around the turn of the 17th century. Elizabeth Isham's diaries refer to the love of books and reading of both sisters, and a list of Judith’s books, made in 1649, is edited as PLRE 272. This includes 19 books, all theological and devotional, in English.
