John Urpeth Rastrick - Contents

These pages are about the engineer John Urpeth Rastrick (1780-1856). My late father and I spent a lot of time researching his life and work and it is my intention, as time permits, to use the material we collected to write a set of pages about Rastrick. However, there is a box full of papers in the loft and I have family commitments, so it is a long term project.
