About this ebook
Surrey affords good examples of prosperous peasant life at the woodland margin in the Middle Ages and had some of the best developed industry before the Industrial Revolution. The landscape gardening which has made the county unrivalled in its still beautifully contrived scenery is a major contribution to the arts of Western Europe. “Dr. Brandon is meticulous in charting Surrey’s growth ... detailed but not dull ...” Surrey Advertiser.
