Harold's Town and its vicinity

A compact visitor’s handbook surveys the history and architecture of the abbey and its associations with Earl Harold, with descriptions of major monuments and parish features. It guides travellers on local rambles into Epping Forest and High Beech and details neighbouring places such as Waltham Cross, Theobalds and Cheshunt, noting bridges, churches and village houses. The volume includes photographic plates and illustrations, an Ordnance Survey map, a bibliography and a chronological appendix, together with practical notes for visitors and suggestions to preserve local natural and historic features.
