Hampton-in-Arden’s
growth and development as a Warwickshire village is carefully charted
from Roman times to World War II and beyond. The village’s Saxon
origins are explained and the story continues with descriptions of the
village in the Tudor period and the changes incurred during the Industrial
Age.
Details of the early years are followed by chapters dealing in depth with
the Manor, the village’s churches, mills around the parish, the educational
changes through the years and the coming of the railway.
Subsequent chapters look at inns, sporting activities, the impact of war
on the village and the numerous organisations which continue to make up
the social fabric of village life.
The book concludes with a look at some of the more prominent residents
of the village through the years and a survey of some of the events and
happenings which took place. The text is illustrated with many previously
unseen photographs. |
