The English village conjures up an image of rural harmony and of our ancestors woven into the broader pageant of England's past. But, existing village histories are often mere lists of past lords of the manor. What we are really interested in is how a village began, what it might have looked like down the centuries, and what clues to the past are still there for those who know what to look for. The superb drawings illustrate the physical appearance of the village through different periods of history and there are diagrams and photographs of historic features. Full colour.
