'Leek Wootton and its Hamlets'

A History of the Parish of Leek Wootton & Guy's Cliffe

NOW AVAILABLE ON CD

Written by residents, this 200 page book contains in excess of 160 photographs, maps and illustrations and tells a history of the Civil Parish, from archaeological evidence of primitive settlements, to the projects that commemorated the new millennium.

Have you ever wondered what the area you live in was like in the past? This book holds some of the answers. As well as the stories of the public institutions like the church, the school or the pubs, this book also tells of life in the grand houses and of their owners, such as Wootton Court, Chesford Grange, Woodcote and Guy's Cliffe House. It also tells of some of the ordinary farms, houses and cottages, and the people who have lived in them.

Have you ever wondered what it was like to live here in the past? With the assistance of long-time residents, there are first hand accounts of life throughout the last century, of both war and peace, how people lived, worked, played and died.
