The History Of Richmond

There are over fifty settlements in the world which bear the name Richmond, yet Richmond in North Yorkshire was the first and can claim to be the "Mother of all Richmonds". From the earliest days of human habitation in the Richmond area, to the building of the great castle and on to our own day, this new History of Richmond by Jane Hatcher tells the town's story with academic rigour yet in a form which makes it accessible to the general reader as well as the historian.

Fully illustrated, the book contains an up-to-date and comprehensive bibliography for those who wish to take their studies further either privately or on a formal course of study.
