Villages of Britain

Whilst conventional historiography tends to focus on the role of cities in the formation of Britain, Clive Aslet’™s ‘œVillages of Britain” takes a fresh approach, examining the role of the five hundred villages that have shaped the British countryside. Discover the Bedfordshire village that is home to the zeppelin, and the North Yorkshire village of New Earswick, where the confectionary mogul Joseph Rowntree founded his model village for employees in the Arts and Crafts style. Aslet is a respected authority on the British Countryside, and his knowledge of the country and its people shines through in this well written and authoritative work.
