Probably the most important book an Austen, Dickens or Brontë fan could own. Without this book I would not know whether a viscount proceeds an earl into the dining room (it’s the other way round). I blush to say how much my website owes this book. Get it at Barnes&Noble.
I dearly wish I could visit The Regency Encyclopedia, but all I would do is plunder it’s resources! According to the home page, “In no way does this database aspire to be the ultimate source of all historical information about the Regency period. Think of it as a collection of interesting sound bites about the era. If you require a deeper analysis of a subject, the attribution has been provided for your easy reference.” I believe all the references are to written materials, not other websites.
The Georgian Index is a little bit of everything and is something of a curiosity shop with very little organization to the home page. Your best hope of finding what you’re looking for is to do a Google search and specify “site:georgianindex.net” with your search terms.
In the The Journal of a Georgian Gentleman, author Mike Rendell follows the life of his ancestor Richard Hall, a silk hosier who lived on old London Bridge and detailed his life and the times of the late 18th century. You may find a thorough review of the book here.
Freshford.com is billed as “the websites for Bradford-on-Avon, Bath, Freshford, Limpley Stoke & Hinton Charterhouse,” but it’s not geared toward tourists with its historic maps, tax rolls and censuses. It seems more geared to the Regency pastiche author who needs to know what lodging house her characters might favor.
