"These four chapters are samples taken from Walter L. Meagher’s Aspects of the Natural History of Deddington Parish, the publishing of which is a work in progress. Before Walter died, he had changed the text by drastically cutting it down, as he intended to publish booklets instead of a whole volume. However, before he died, we both agreed that it would be best for me to restore the text as more or less formerly written." May 2020
Editor: Walter's chapters can be read by clicking on the
titles to read as pdfs. They give a taste of the parish treasures we
have on our
doorstep. There is a timelessness to them which will hopefully
inspire readers to explore the areas described for themselves. Chapter 4's 'house style' is quite different to the other three and reflects the book that is to come.
