'Village life and the landmarks which mattered to us have changed so much. They are a part of history ...'

In this new collection of personal memories and historical accounts that date from the Victorian era, Ceri evokes the village of the past. 
 
Who ran the village shop, and where was the forge? What is the history of the oak tree opposite the Somerford Arms? And what can a farm pond reveal about Constable’s painting The Hay Wain?
