All Tanked Up: The Story of Canadian Troops in a Hampshire Village During World War II - Told by Villagers and Veterans
ISBN: 9781873855546 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Canadian troops arrived in Great Britain during the Second World War, they were given quarters in old, cold, damp barracks buildings in the military town of Aldershot. For these young men thousands of miles from home, and in many cases away from their families for the first time, it was a depressing experience. Imagine their joy then, when they found their next station in England was not another military camp, but a charming rural village with pubs, girls, dances - and a welcome for them from the local population. "All Tanked Up" is the story of their benign 'invasion' of a Hampshire...

Walks around Headley: and over the borders
ISBN: 9781873855492 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 94 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. For several years there has been a booklet available describing the Footpaths, Bridleways and Byways of Headley parish. However it suffered from the very real problem that its world ended at the parish boundary, leaving walkers in limbo. They had either to retrace their steps, or boldly go into the unknown if they wished to complete a circular route. This publication attempts to overcome that particular deficiency. It describes twelve circular walks which all start and end in Headley but which extend outside the hallowed borders of the parish - indeed outside the county and into Surrey and...

Walks through History: at the West of the Weald
ISBN: 9781873855515 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Following on from Walks around Headley, this book covers another dozen circular walks in an area situated at the west of the Weald, or roughly where the counties of Hampshire, Surrey and Sussex meet. Each walk has one or more historical themes to it, ranging from Roman times through to the early 20th century - but equally they lead you through a number of different terrains and places of interest, many of which are illustrated in the book. The distances to be walked vary up to a maximum of fourteen miles; there are some with challenging gradients and others without, and there is a mixture of...

On the Trail of Flora Thompson: Beyond Candleford Green - Heatherley to Peverel
ISBN: 9781873855249 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The author has turned detective. In this book, he discovers the true identities behind the pseudonyms which Flora Thompson employed within her writing to hide the identity of the people and places she encountered 'beyond Candleford Green.' Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and George Bernard Shaw were two among many eminent people who were regular customers in her post office at Grayshott-unaware that the shy young lady sending their telegrams would one day rank alongside themselves on literary shelves. But the lesser-known characters also lend their own interest to the story. Who was 'Mr Foreshaw, '...

The Broomsquire: A Dramatisation of Sabine Baring-Gould's Celebrated Novel
ISBN: 9781873855348 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In September 1786, a lone sailor was murdered on Hindhead Common by three men. This much is common knowledge. But was the sailor alone? In his book The Broom-Squire, the Victorian author Sabine Baring-Gould imagines that the sailor was carrying a baby daughter, and that she had survived the ambush. From this point, he develops a story of the orphan girl found in the Devil's Punch Bowl by one of the broomsquires who lived there at the time. Eighteen years later, the finder and the foundling marry. But the circumstances and results of this union lead to a clash of wills - and more.

Walks from the Railway: Guildford to Portsmouth
ISBN: 9781873855553 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It is about 60 miles (or 95km) to walk from Guildford to Portsmouth Harbour, and it can be done. If, however, you would prefer to let the train take at least part of the strain, this book has divided the journey into manageable chunks which can be walked between railway stations. It also includes a circular walk or two from each of the stations on the way - and I couldn't resist the temptation to offer you a quick trip to the Isle of Wight too. The routes are described travelling towards the coast. There is no reason, of course, why you should not choose to walk in the opposite direction. In...

Flora Thompson: Beyond Candleford: Two Plays: Flora's Heatherley & Flora's Peverel
ISBN: 9781873855638 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. These two plays, written by a local historian, tell the story of the Lark Rise to Candleford author in the days before she became famous. In Flora's Heatherley we see her in Grayshott (her Heatherley) at the age of 21 taking the position of sub-postoffice assistant, and staying for two and a half years. She arrived as a young, gauche, country girl, and passed "from foolish youth to wicked adolescence" in the village. She drew disapproval by associating with 'strange' men, and walking for miles alone on the surrounding heaths, and felt more at home having tea with a retired 'big-game' hunter,...

A Headley Compendium
ISBN: 9781873855621 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. It is not easy to record the history of a parish in a consistent manner, let alone to give an understandable picture of its progress through the centuries. Some information is no longer available, some is inconsistent, some is incomprehensible to the modern eye and mind, and always there is the feeling that such facts as we have are a mere snapshot, and a fairly random one at that, of fragments of the full picture. So we must take our hats off to Canon Tudor Jones who, at the end of his 30-year incumbency as rector of Headley, sat down to write "Headley 1066-1966," which is still the nearest...
