'A pocket guide Local History'. The binding is still tight, and the inner pages are clean and sharp. This book may have a previous owners name on free-end paper. ## People are curious about old England, its markets, ports and villages, its bustling mill communities. They ask about the making of the English landscape, that incredible variety of natural and man-made scenes. The local historian's task is to satisfy this curiosity, and this book is for people who wish to discover local history. Every community has an account, which it is always possible to trace to some extent; even when there is no written evidence, place names, archaeological finds, buildings can all contribute to the story. Local history seeks to discover the origins, growth and evolution of a community. Still, mostly it is about people, not the great men of their times ? rulers, generals, statesmen ? but the ordinary men and women who, no less than their masters, altered the face of the land. ~#~ SHIRE PUBLICATIONS the DISCOVERY SERIES: This top-rated series of professionally researched and illustrated guides are published in England in the late 1960s to date.

Inscriptions on gravestones yield fascinating information about the dead, their lives and occupations, and the way they died. There may well be a verse epitaph of a philosophical or morafr3tic nature, but wit and humour, sometimes unintentional, creep in to enliven the sombre nature of the message. In this book Geoffrey Wright first traces the background history oi churchyard memorials and then describes many examples of inscriptions and epitaphs which somehow bring us much closer to the people they commemorate, and the communities in which they lived in. ### ~#~ SHIRE PUBLICATIONS the DISCOVERY SERIES: This top-rated series of professionally researched and illustrated guides are published in England in the late 1960s to date.
