Reviews
A New History of Wye
The
history of Wye is of more than local interest, but
the only previous general history of the village
was published in 1842 by William S. Morris, the
village doctor. A New History of Wye
details some of Wye's links to the wider history
of England and covers aspects of its history from
the early settlements through to the end of the
Second World War.
The pages are enlivened by accounts of
eccentrics, philanthropic citizens, political
radicals, scientists, religious pioneers and even
a lady poet who wrote of the hurricane that
devastated Wye exactly 300 years ago. Most of the
chapters have been written by members of Wye
Historical Society with a special interest in
their chosen subjects. The book draws on the
extensive archives of the Society and incorporates
the results of original research by the individual
authors. There are almost three hundred
illustrations (approximately one third in colour)
and a bibliography accompanies each chapter.
A New History of Wye is available from Wye
Newsagency.
