Kingston Deverill: a south-west Wiltshire Village, by Julian Wiltshire

In its idyllic setting hidden away at the head of the Deverill valley between Mere and Warminster, Kingston Deverill is everyone’s ideal of an English village. Julian Wiltshire, long-time resident and enthusiast, has produced a comprehensive history from early times, through its farming, church, school and social life – a book to be treasured by his fellow villagers, and a model for other local historians. Profusely illustrated in colour throughout, this is one of the most attractive local histories that I have been involved in producing to date. 2016, 263pp illustrated paperback, £16.95, ISBN 978-1-906978-41-9
