Churches Trust reports, "His stewardship of the job was driven,
by a desire to make as much as possible of the huge archive,
available to scholars and, most importantly, to the general,
public. Apart from cataloguing drawings from the Royal,
collection, he put examples on show to the public. He became a,
real friend to King George V and Queen Mary who he accompanied,
on visits to country houses and antique shops. He published,
several books and contributed articles on King George V and,
Lord Stamfordham in the Dictionary of National Biography. ",
Moreshead begins his book: "The Civil War provided the last,
occasion on which the castles of England were put to a military,
purpose, " and proceeds to describe the context, the prisoners,,
and their activities, quoting from contemporary documents.,
