Our English Villages: Their Story and Their Antiquities (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Our English Villages: Their Story and Their Antiquities

A series of articles upon Our English Villages were contributed by the author to Canon Erskine Clarke's Pam's/z Magazine. Several correspondents, personally unknown to the author, kindly wrote approvingly of them, and suggested that the articles should be published separately, and expanded into a volume. This suggestion has been carried out; and it is hoped that the book may enable the dwellers in our villages to appreciate the rich store of historical treasures which lie around them; to know more of the manners and customs of their forefathers and to associate the fields in which they work, the church in which they worship, the houses in which they dwell, with the past history of their home and country.
