| Synopsis: |
Apart from being one of the best places to watch the unique Severn Bore as it races up the River Severn, Minsterworth has an extremely interesting history dating back to Domesday and before. Terry Moore-Scott has produced an absorbing book entitled "A History of Minsterworth from Pre-History to 1900" which tells the story of a rural village beside the River Severn. The author's detailed research tells us about the development of the village from earliest times and about the manorial lands and their occupants, and helpfully explains the structures of the major families who resided within the area. He gives us a feel of some of the other occupations of the villagers especially those connected to the River Severn. There also some interesting snippets, including the legend of a visit to Minsterworth in 1016 by the Anglo Saxon King of England Edmund Ironside and some very human insights taken from accounts written by William Grasing, a churchwarden and local farmer during the 18th century. This well researched book will be of great interest to historians and it has been written in such a way that we can all readily understand and easily follow the sequence of events."A History of Minsterworth (From Prehistory to 1900)", ISBN 1873877749, and ISBN 13 9781873877746, is another book from the Cotswold publishers Reardon Publishing. |
