Forgotten People: An English Rural History

by Barbara Cooper

The story of three Lincolnshire villages bound together in history, telling how even the smallest rural communities had an impact on English life. A fascinating read whether you have ties to these villages or not.

Forgotten People is an absorbing glimpse into the lost past of rural England. Brought to life in evocative style and interspersed with re-enactments of actual events, the stories of villagers, rich and poor dramatically unfold.

Barbara Cooper is the first author to explore and portray this tiny portion of Lincolnshire landscape; a compelling vision of Romans, Norman clergy, medieval kings and politicians, soldiers, centuries of gentlemen landowners and hard-working villagers.

Beautifully written, the stories are vividly depicted with carefully selected photographs and illustrations. A heart-warming read.
