A popular one-volume history of the county, moving from prehistoric remains and the Roman occupation through Saxons, Danes, Normans and Plantagenets to the Tudors, the seventeenth century and the rebellions that followed. Later chapters turn to religion and to the eighteenth-century spread of cloth-making, when the growing towns drew workers in from the surrounding farms.
