Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	The diaries of John Frewen Turner (1755–1829), of Cold Overton Hall, Leicestershire, were written between 1781 and 1805. They describe the life of a country gentleman in the later Georgian period, and provide an often intimate insight into his personal life as well as the cultural world he inhabited, the range of his social networks, and the considerations that shaped his view of his role and standing. The diaries also shed light on the nature of landed society and of patterns of inheritance which enabled scattered estates to descend to one junior branch of a family, and so form the basis of considerable wealth in the nineteenth century. Written in pocket notebooks, the diaries have remained unpublished and form part of a large archive of the family’s papers from the seventeenth century held in East Sussex Record Office.
