In its idyllic setting hidden away at the head of the Deverill valley between Mere and Warminster, Kingston Deverill is everyone's ideal of an English village. Julian Wiltshire, long-time resident and enthusiast, has produced a comprehensive history from early times, through its farming, church, school and social life - a book to be treasured by his fellow villagers, and a model for other local historians. Profusely illustrated in colour throughout, this is one of the most attractive local histories that Hobnob Press has been involved in producing.
