Description
Through riots and revelries, poverty and prosperity, the people of Langley Burrell and neighbouring Kellaways in north Wiltshire have adapted to centuries of change. In this thematic history of the parish, meet the scandalous 17th-century rector whose libertine sect shocked the neighbourhood and discover the truth about Maud Heath, whose 15th-century causeway still carries travellers today. Enjoy anecdotes from Francis Kilvert's evocative Victorian diaries, learn how villagers responded to wartime from the English Civil War to the Second World War, and explore the economic transformation from medieval strip farming to modern settlement. From Bronze Age burial mounds to 21st-century housing developments, this is the story of an English parish and the generations who called it home. Published in association with Langley Burrell Without Parish Council and the Victoria County History of Wiltshire as a VCH partnership publication. This is the third popular parish history by this author published as accompaniment to the academic history of the Chippenham area undertaken as part of the Victoria County History project.
