Yorkshire Battles
by Edward Lamplough
About the author
Edward Lamplough was a British author and local historian best known for Yorkshire Battles, a late-19th-century survey of conflicts fought on Yorkshire soil. Sources found during this search also connect him with other works including Mediæval Yorkshire, The Siege of Hull, Hull and Yorkshire Frescoes, and a selected edition of The Poetical Works of George Crabbe.
The picture that emerges is of a writer deeply interested in Yorkshire’s history and identity. His books suggest a mix of historical storytelling, regional pride, and literary enthusiasm, with a particular focus on battles, notable places, and the cultural life of Hull and Yorkshire.
A later source used by LibriVox gives his lifespan as 1845–1919, and an obituary excerpt reproduced in a forum post reports that he died on March 26, 1919, aged 74. I couldn’t confirm more detailed biographical facts from strong primary sources in this search, so this overview stays close to what his surviving books clearly show: a steady, passionate chronicler of Yorkshire’s past.
