What reading level is County And Town in England Together With Some Annals of Churnside book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The name is thus equivalent to "Deer-town, " or still more strictly to "the hunting quarters" [?] ; and it sufficiently shows how wild must have been the state of the surrounding country at the period when it was first applied. The Danes built a fort at Derby, as it may now be called ; and the post soon became their chief station in the northern midlands. Meanwhile, Alfred's daughter Athelfled, the Lady of the Mercians, was recovering her dominions from the heathen invaders, and had built borde...r fortresses at Stafford and Tarn- worth. A few years later she stormed Derby, " though four of her best thanes were slain fighting at the city gate " ; and, says Florence of Worcester, " she became mistress of that province " in other words, of the district which comprised the territory of the Derby host The allusion to the gate shows that under its Danish masters the town had grown into considerable importance, and the invaders had doubtless cleared and tilled all the cultivable land in the Trent basin.
