  This is an unusual book ... not a conventional village history, it is a re-creation, from extensive surviving records, of village life in the 1860s, when Frampton was perhaps in its heyday. To back up her rich visual harvest, the author, Rose Spence, dug deep into public records, and managed to identify all the householders ... The result is a fascinating glimpse of life in a Victorian rural community. The Independent
