 H-France Reviews
This is his justification for writing a departmental history of voting patterns, a monographic study of the department of the Aube which helps to nuance the conclusions reached over a broader canvas by Edelstein, Crook, and the others.
From this analysis, which is presented here through a series of highly illuminating tables, he concludes that the elections of the early part of the Revolution produced a new elite, a new political class in Troyes and its hinterland.
That in itself will produce little surprise; the same pattern has been noted in many other towns and regions, though Horn differs from Crook about the exact moment when this revolutionary elite emerged, claiming that in the Aube it can be dated from the 1790 elections, not those of 1789.

 Obiwan's UFO-Free Paranormal Page > Hauntings > Crook Hall (England)
Crook Hall outside the City of Durham was originally an open hall built in 1286 and has had subsequent renovation and rebuilding through the centuries resulting in Jacobean and Georgian extensions to the earliest foundtations.
The earliest mention of Crook Hall would appear to be in conjunction with the name of Thomas Billingham in 1425, although it is believed that the hall was named after one Peter de Croke who owned the property in the early 14th century.
Of the original medieval hall only the central great hall and adjacent screen passage remain to give a date of the 13th century.
