Books for Loan
Peter has a History Lending Library that local people are welcome to refer to or borrow from. The list of books available is divided into two – one of books specific to the village (see especially this list) and county; the other of more general books that may help you with your own research. If you are interested in borrowing any of the books, please let us know.
