England's Villages An Extraordinary Journey Through Time by Dr Ben Robinson
4.0
It's a non fiction book looking at the history and development of villages in England over the centuries. It takes a look at how villages changed over time, what a village actually is, the naming of villages, key components of villages and much more.
At first glance it seems like a bit of a dry book, but it is really well written and definitely engaging enough to keep you interested, I particularly enjoyed learning about the names of villages and how different periods of history have impacted naming conventions and how you can often date the origin of a village simply by its name!
