Reviews: PARISH OF OVERTON CUM FYFIELD AND EAST KENNETT. VILLAGE HERITAGE 1987


"Written 20 years ago this year this booklet describes the history of this area as seen at the time. What was then a near memory is in danger of becoming lost as the demography of the area changes from close knit farming communities to more mobile residents with little to no farming context. In this document you will find the rapid changes that shaped this valley and see how much has changed in the last 20 years. This is a live document again and can be updated with new stories and information. Enjoy this window into the past and look to the future."

Particularly interesting sections on The Kennet Sarsen Industry and The sarsen workers tools. The full text of the booklet is here -
