Stony Stratford Past

by Robert Ayers, Audrey Lambert

Stony Stratford grew out of the small, north Buckinghamshire villages of Wolverton and Calverton as a settlement straddling Watling Street, while the associated hamlet of Old Stratford sprang up in the Northamptonshire parishes on the northern bank of the river Ouse. In this well-researched and splendidly illustrated new work, the authors explore the entire history of the town, describing many of the lesser-known characters who contributed to its doctors, teachers, architects and even a humble chimney-sweep. The book will be warmly welcomed throughout the area.
