The manuscript appears to be in his own hand. Sampson Erdeswick (c.1538–1603) was a recusant lawyer and antiquary. 'About 1593 [he] began work on what he called a 'View' of Staffordshire and Cheshire. By his death he had finished a draft of Staffordshire but had written little of the Cheshire section. Sir William Dugdale described it as "a brief but elaborate work … compiled from public records and ancient evidences" ... By 1842 the existence of twenty-five copies of the 'View' had been traced; the whereabouts of another fifteen were unknown. An unsatisfactory edition was published in 1717 under the title A Survey of Staffordshire and reissued in 1723. Thomas Harwood of Lichfield produced a scholarly edition in 1820, and his further revised edition of what was still called A Survey appeared posthumously in 1844' (ODNB).
