We specialise in local history books for the area of Kent to the East of Canterbury including the villages of Sturry, Fordwich, Westbere, Hoath, Herne and Chislet. Most of these books are written by local historians and they provide an interesting glimpse into the local history of these villages and the people who lived in them.
Holiday Periods
During school holidays (eg month of August) we are unable to post local books. Orders placed at this time will be dealt with in September.
