Stow-in-the-Wold is an attractive little village, and there are books about the town. Here, we will take a look at some.
The Parish Church of St Edward
Wiki brought out a 20-page book about the Parish Church of St Edward. The writer explains how Stow-on-the-Wold started as an Iron Age fort, with the hill as a good vantage point over approaching enemies. The crossroads eventually made it a good place for setting up a market, with farmers coming from all over to buy and sell sheep in the market square of Stow-on-the-Wold. Of course, the book is about the church, so the church’s history is explained.
Walks Around Stow-in-the-Wold
Mark Richards is the writer of this paperback published by Reardon Publishing in 1848. Mark Richard’s book, which costs a whopping $877.95, takes readers on a ‘walkabout’ through Stow-on-the-Wold’s history, historic buildings, and attractions.
Stow-on-the-Wold Memorial
Susan Brattin wrote this novel as a memorial to the last battle of the Civil War and its men. The royalist forces were defeated by the parliamentary forces one mile north of Stow-on-the-Wold. From here, men fled into the streets of Stow, where the army finally surrendered after much bloodshed.
