Abstract

This is the story of Eydon in Northamptonshire, a village that existed before Doesday Book, and in many respects a microcosm of rural England. A family memoir as well as a village history, it is the fruit of a long lifetime of curiosity and diligent researcch. It explains the drastic effects of the Enclosures in the 18th century on the lives of country people, and the other historic influences which have made a English vilage what it is today.
