Oxfordshire is the hive to which great artists, scientists, thinkers and warlords have swarmed for 2, 000 years. You will be amazed at how many historical figures have enjoyed or suffered their defining moments in this exciting and interesting county.
From flint arrowheads to RAF bases, from the Ridgeway to the M40 and from the Roman Conquest to the Cold War, this book tells the story of Oxfordshire’s diverse people and their trades, triumphs and tribulations.
The history of Oxfordshire is, indeed, the history of England in miniature, and Paul Sullivan shares it in all its glory in this well-researched book.
