Welcome to this Little History website, about two small villages in the English Midlands. We hope that you enjoy your visit to them. The core of the site is an e-book of the rare printed edition of this short work which through documentary evidence traces the history of the villages from medieval times to the early twentieth century. Comprehensive new indexes of personal names and places, and a glossary of archaic, historical and architectural terms used, are provided to aid readers of both new and original editions. There are many village photographs and other illustrations here, with background information, and links to associated sites. The whole text of Miss Dickins' book, plus additions, can be downloaded as linked and bookmarked pdf files. A notable section of the site is that devoted to villagers who served their country in the Great War and in World War Two. And do listen to the peals of the church bells!
