The Book Of British Villages: Reader's Digest

An A - Z guide to 700 of the most interesting and attractive villages in Britain. In Abbots Bromley, the annual Horn Dance covers a circuit of 8 miles; East Hendred has a church that houses the oldest timepiece (that still chimes the hours) and which is invisible; the village of Mells may be the home of 'Jack Horner' of the nursery rhyme; and Hertingfordbury boasts a churchyard so steep that some of the inhabitants must have been buried vertically! There's plenty of interest in this volume; facts, history, traditions and ancient myths and legends. Illustrated with beautiful photographs and paintings.
