Title: Curiosities of Rural Cambridgeshire
Description: Oleander Press, Cambridge, 1977. First Edition, Softcover (Saddle-stapled), Illustrated by: Peter Jeevar. As New. 9780900891120 few of the fascinating subjects covered in Curiosities of Rural Cambridgeshire are even mentioned in the standard county histories and guidebooks. Where can one still see ice-houses, bier houses or malthouses? Where is the last surviving maze? What is a ha-ha? The largest meadow in England is in Cambridgeshire; unique too are the 8,000 year-old bog oaks and the communal bakehouse. Stiles, stones and sundials can be found in Cambridgeshire, but they are disappearing fast, and the message of Mr Jeevar's beautifully­illustrated record of rural bygones is that if we wish to see our heritage before it vanishes completely, then we had better do it now.
