Publisher's Synopsis
The village of Clipston near Market Harborough is a rural community typical of those found in this part of Northamptonshire, but one which is fortunate in that it has been well documented over the years. This book traces the history of the village and the people who have lived in it, from pre-history and the Domesday Book right up to the end of the Second World War. In addition to tracing the village's physical development since Roman times, it also places the changes the community underwent within a wider historical perspective, drawing upon original and secondary sources to place the village society in a wider historical context. Thoroughly researched and widely praised when first published, this updated second edition incorporates additional information that has been supplied by readers since the first edition was published in 1998. The book includes over 100 photographs of the village dating from as early as 1867, showing the changing physical and social face of the village over a hundred years. It is being re-printed as a result of continued demand, and is used as a class text by local schools.
