A History of Surrey by Peter Brandon
Surrey affords good examples of prosperous peasant life at the woodland margin in the Middle Ages and had some of the best developed industry before the Industrial Revolution. The landscape gardening which has made the county unrivalled in its still beautifully contrived scenery is a major contribution to the arts of Western Europe. “Dr. Brandon is meticulous in charting Surrey’s growth ... detailed but not dull ...” Surrey Advertiser.
The late PETER BRANDON was a prolific author of books about Sussex, and a knowledgeable and inspirational speaker. He inspired many landscape geographers and historians, residents and visitors with his natural enthusiasm for his beloved Sussex countryside. He was vice-president of the Sussex branch of the Campaign to Protect Rural England and of the Sussex Archaeological Society, and president of the South Downs Society.
