A Cotswold Miscellany Paperback / softback
by Allan Jones
Paperback / softback
Description
This is a collection of essays, some short, some relatively long, dealing with places or personalities connected in some way with the Cotswolds.
The extent of the topics covered is wide, ranging from the "Cotswold Olimpicks" to Cirencester Park, from John Wesley to John Masefield, from the Arts & Crafts movement to the beginnings of the Oxford Movement, and from William Morris to Vaughan Williams.
Each subject has been extensively researched, and while not intended to be an exhaustive treatise, it presents an overview of each individual topic, written in an assimilable style.
The text is illustrated with quotations and photographs, both in colour and in black and white.
The author, the late Allan Jones, was a retired biology teacher who died suddenly before the book could be published.
Born and brought up in South Wales, during the latter part of his life he lived in Cheltenham, and developed a great love of the Cotswolds which he explored thoroughly on foot and by bicycle.
