Villages of Britain by Clive Aslet
Many of Britain's villages are known for their loveliness, but their role in shaping the nation over the centuries is relatively untold, drowned out by the metropolitan bias of history. This book presents the history of the countryside, covering five hundred of its settlements such as Cheshire municipality, Derbyshire estate, and more.
