Town and Village Histories Series
One of our most long-running series of publications is our 'Town and Village History' series. Local authors have drawn together researches in documentary records, the memories of the community and a wide selection of photographs to tell these stories.
The titles are not over-long - usually 28 to 36 pages. All those currently in print are listed.

Today they are little more than backwaters and places for recreation on the water, but once they were harbours for trading vessels. The village is a great favourite with visitors today, this booklet puts it in its historical context.
