The Wharncliffe Companion to Chester by Roger Stephens
Aimed at visitors and residents alike, this companion to the history of Chester is an indispensable reference guide to the long, varied and sometimes surprising story of the town. Essential information on the people, places and events that played key roles in the story is presented in a convenient A to Z format. Famous and notorious individuals are portrayed here, dramatic, sometimes tragic events are remembered, and familiar local myths and legends are explored. The volume is a source of fascinating insights into Chester's past and should provide answers to frequently asked historical questions - the whos, wheres and whys that make up the rich history of the town.
Roger Stephens has lived in Chester for 25 years and he has long been a keen student of the city's history. As a tourist guide he is used to explaining that history to visitors, and to showing them the sights and curiosities that reveal the city's past. In addition to his interest in local history, he has researched the story of Cheshire, and this work led to his first book The Boom of the Bitterbump: The Folk History of Cheshire's Wildlife.
