Banbury: A History

Drawing upon extensive research into unpublished records and recent archaeological investigations, Little presents a history of the area and the town from prehistory to the present. The author is chairman of the Banbury Historical Society and teaches at North Oxfordshire College. The book is distributed by the David Brown Book Company.
