- Using his own drawings, diagrams, and photos, Yorke, a writer and designer, traces the development of the English village from pre-Roman settlements to present-day communities and the events that affected them, key changes in agriculture and industry, and how they may have appeared, with illustrations of imaginary villages at the ends of chapters. He also describes their landscape, transportation, buildings, and dwellings, and recommends museums and villages to visit and provides a guide to tracing the history of a village.
