A History of Huntingdonshire

Huntingdonshire was a political unit and a social institution for some eleven hundred years until in 1974 it was absorbed into Cambridgeshire. Though always small and rural, Huntingdonshire had its moments of glory and produced far more than its share of historical characters. “ ... make sure you read a copy ... I like Huntingdonshire. I know that after reading Michael Wickes’ excellent history ... you will like it too.” The Hunts Post
