Does anyone have a copy of The History and Antiquities of the Deanery of Craven by T D Whitaker? The 3rd edition was dated 1878, I think. Publisher was Joseph Dodgson of Leeds.

If you'd be willing to look something up for me, please would you send a PM?

(It's not in the BCA Library, incidentally.)

Thanks.

'Fraid not, but the second edition is available on Google Books if that is any good:

He died in 1821, so definitely didn't update for the 1878 edition, but no idea if somebody else did, or just reprinted. Apparently it's available as a PDF:
