Histories of People and Landscape by Richard Hoyle
David Hey (1938-2016) was one of the leading local and regional historians of our age and the author of a number of highly regarded books on the practice of local history. His work on surnames was pioneering and he was amongst the first to identify the potential of DNA in historical studies. In this collection of essays in David's memory, friends and colleagues celebrate his commitment to the landscape, economy, and society of south Yorkshire--especially Sheffield--and Derbyshire, which together make up 'Hey country, ' the area in which he grew up and to which he returned to work. This lively volume will be of interest to anyone who shares David Hey's curiosity for the people, economies, and landscapes of the part of England he made his focus. At the same time the essays will prove to be of interest to all those concerned with the workings of English local society and economy.
