Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Reprinted with Revisions. Hardback. Very slight foxing to end inside covers. Price clipped to D/J. Photographs by Richard Rhodes. It has been the prupose of this book, written by two authors who have lived and worked in Surrey for many years, to give a history of many of these villages and of their ancient buildings. The authors have also tried to show how and why villages were created and why they flourished and to look at the lives and activities of their inhabitants down the ages. Written in the year when conservation was in the thoughts of many people, this book also examines the future of villages, some of which are so obviously threatened by the ever-increasing demands of modern traffic and by the motorways which are being built to carry it. In view of this threat, it comes as a consolation to find that some Surrey villages have been preserved by the construction of roads bypassing them, freeing them of the burden of much traffic and allowing them to regain their pristine calm.
