Written by the Oxford historian Henrietta Leyser, Bede`s England is a gazetteer to the remaining Anglo-Saxon ruins in Engl&, many of them from the time of the Venerable Bede. For those who have bought Simon Jenkins` 100 Best Churches & now want something different, this is an invaluable window onto the world of the author of the Ecclesiastical History of the English People. Concentrating on Bede himself (our most valuable historical source on Anglo Saxon Engl&, & author of books that played a key role in the development of English national identity), BEDES ENGLAND is an accessible history & a guidebook simultaneously, illustrated with maps & photographs. Since Sr Benedicta Ward`s book on Bede, with its endorsement by Rowan Williams, general interest in Anglo-Saxon Britain has been growing.

Beddington Corner in 1894 in a fascinating series of reproductions of old Ordnance Survey plans in the Alan Godfrey Editions, ideal for anyone interested in the history of their neighbourhood or family. ” The River Wandle runs north to south through the centre of this map & most of the development of the area has taken place along its banks. The river provided the energy to turn the water wheels which powered the various mills & works established along the Wandle, many of which date from the 18th century.” So begins John Brown`s introduction to the map. The works include Eagle Leather Works, Wandle Tannery, Mitcham Leather Works, & there are also various watercress beds. The community of Beddington Corner is shown in a state of construction with roads such as Wolseley Road, Wood Street & New Road partly built. The London Road runs north-south & almost parallel is the railway; Mitcham Junction station is at the top of the map. The map extends west to Greenwrythe Lane, & Ravensbury Park is in the north-western corner. Tramway Terrace is a reminder of the earlier Surrey Iron Railway. About the Alan Godfrey Editions of the 25” OS Series: Selected towns in Great Britain & Ireland are covered by maps showing the extent of urban development in the last decades of the 19th & early 20th century. The plans have been taken from the Ordnance Survey mapping & reprinted at about 15 inches to one mile (1:4, 340). On the reverse most maps have historical notes & many also include extracts from contemporary directories. Most maps cover about one mile (1.6kms) north/south, one & a half miles (2.4kms) across; adjoining sheets can be combined to provide wider coverage.FOR MORE INFORMATION & A COMPLETE LIST OF ALL AVAILABLE TITLES PLEASE CLICK ON THE SERIES LINK. ...
