Hexham Through Time
ISBN: 9781445608433 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The importance of the attractive town of Hexham began when St Wifrid built his great monastery there in the 7th Century, of which only the unique crypt remains beneath the Priory church.

These areas still form the nucleus of the town, which lay in the turbulent Border country between England and Scotland.

ISBN: 9781848684812 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Stamford has a reputation for being one of England's finest stone towns.

It has also attracted the attention of film makers who have been quick to see its potential as a back-drop for such TV...
