Nooks and Corners of Old England

Stepping off the main roads, the author invites listeners to wander through England’s quieter historic sites, from solitary stone crosses to forgotten manor doorways. Drawing on old Ordnance maps, sketchbooks, and a camera, he records the texture of each nook—whether the weather‑worn galleries of a centuries‑old inn or the hidden chambers of a country house. The narrative moves gently from the well‑trodden towns of Huntingdonshire to the secluded valleys of Northamptonshire, offering a sense of discovery without demanding expertise.

Interwoven with lively anecdotes and careful description, the book brings each location to life, naming landmarks such as Queen Eleanor’s Cross at Geddington, Kirby Hall’s gateway, and the medieval market at Drayton. Accompanying illustrations let listeners picture the crumbling stone, the ivy‑clad walls, and the unexpected details that survive in these overlooked corners. Whether you are a seasoned traveler or a curious listener, the volume provides a compact guide to England’s hidden architectural heritage.
