Describes life in a small Warwickshire village not far from Stratford-upon-Avon. Whilst there is a brief description of the village's early history, covering the Luxborough family and the building of "Barrells" (the local stately home), the book focuses mainly on the history of Ullenhall during the last hundred years using oral reminiscences to re-create the life and atmosphere in the early years of the century.
