Taking the small Yorkshire market town of Pickering on the edge of the moors, Home traces how an English community grew from prehistoric settlement through Saxon and Norman times, the royal castle and forest, the church and its wall paintings, and the families, customs and villages around it. Old records, including complaints about stone carted away from the castle, bring the story close.
A model local history, delightful for anyone who loves the North York Moors or English town life. Download the free EPUB.
