Not exactly Essex - but of interest perhaps to members of the Essex Society for Archaeology and History.
"We have recently
published Medieval Weymouth, Growth and Decline by James Crump, Was
it Yesterday by A. M. Bown, and George Butterworth, Memorial Volume
edited by Wayne Smith. We
continue to specialise in well-researched books by self-published authors and
have several further titles on hand for later in the year. We would be very
interested to hear from any members of Essex Society for Archaeology &
History who have projects of this nature in hand.
"Medieval Weymouth,
Growth and Decline examines the parallel histories of the twin towns of Weymouth and
Melcombe Regis from the eleventh century to the end of the sixteenth, charting
their rise and subsequent decline.
"Was it Yesterday is a fictionalised
first-hand account of the author’s experiences during World War I. A. M. Bown,
an Oxford scholar and then an artillery subaltern, was twice wounded and won
the Military Cross for bravery. His account was first reviewed in the Times
Literary Supplement and this is a new edition.
"George Butterworth,
Memorial Volume is the first publication of a book of recollections compiled and
circulated by Butterworth’s father in 1918. It contains tributes by Vaughan
Williams among others. Butterworth was killed at the Battle of the Somme in
1916.
