About this title

Synopsis

This new companion is a commentary on significant national and parochial material from written and other sources from AD500 to the present day. It is intended to help the local historian to condense the amount of background reading necessary and to point him along the most rewarding routes. It outlines the history of England and identifies archives and records which document it and includes information on archeology, place names, local building types and handwriting. The author also presents the history of Combsburgh, an imaginary but typical locality. The author is an award winning poet with four collections of verse to his credit who has three times won the prestigious Mansell-Pleydell Prize for esssays on local history.
