There is good news and bad news with regard to this review. The good news is that the book is available in digital form on the Internet; the bad news is that this makes a fully considered review more difficult because it is not possible to see the book bound, in colour and complete form. This is in contrast to our earlier review of John Painter’s beautifully presented book on the same subject.

I first heard of this book when visiting Tring Local History Museum. I asked for any material on Long Marston, Puttenham or Wilstone and this was one of the items they produced for me.
