Excerpt from Repton and Its Neighbourhood: A Descriptive Guide of the Archæology, &C., Of the District
The consequence is that the History of Repton is chiefly concerned with ancient and mediaeval times.
The Chapters on the Neighbourhood of Repton have been added in the hope that they may prove useful to those who may wish to make expeditions to the towns and villages mentioned. More might have been included, and more written about them, the great difficulty was to curtail both, and at the same time make an interesting, and intelligible record of the chief points of interest in the places described.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of Repton, from its founding by the Anglo-Saxons in the seventh century to the present day. Repton's story intersects with national and religious events, such as the conversion to Christianity and the Reformation. The author has included excerpts from Anglo-Saxon, Medieval, and Renaissance sources, allowing readers to experience Repton's evolution from its origins through the founding of Repton Priory, its Tudor transformation, and its modern existence as a village. Unlike most histories, this book places great emphasis on the medieval period, providing an in-depth look at the Priory, its transition from an abbey to a priory, and the daily life of its canons. The author also provides detailed accounts of Repton's notable residents, including the Anglo-Saxon saints Guthlac and Wystan, and the Thacker family, who played a significant role in the village's development.
