A Visitor's History of Hitchin

Anthony M. Foster

Anthony Foster's brief history takes us from Roman times, through the reign of King Alfred, Danish rule and Henry VIII's seizure of Hitchin Priory to the industrial revolution, the coming of the railway and modern times. With a map for reference, this delightful guide to our town's past is a real delight.
