‘Praised by Trollope and W H Hudson for the beauty of the surrounding landscape, cursed by the mud-soaked trainees of two Word Wars, the story of Codford is refreshingly retold in this new approach to local history provided by the Victoria County History.’
Rex Sawyer, author of Little Imber on the Down
Codford: wool and war in Wiltshire is the first publication in the EPE series. This new approach to local history publishing provides an insight into the resources and methods used by local historians and will be a valuable tool for readers inspired to research their own locality.
The book tells the story of Codford, from Anglo-Saxon settlement to important military garrison. First mentioned in 901, the village’s development was subject to the twin influences of road and river. With chapters discussing farming, landowners, church and community and the impact of two world wars, this illustrated paperback will evoke the history of many similar places.
