All is Hush'd

ByRodney Castleden

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
The story of Bishopstone church and churchyard in Sussex, with a complete record of all the inscriptions. After intensive recent research, more is known about the history of Bishopstone than about most other English villages. It began as a hilltop settlement in the fifth century - a very early Saxon colony. 200 years later, the hilltop dwellers came down into the valley, where they set up a high-status minster, the administrative centre of an estate belonging to the bishops of Selsey. The beautiful Saxon church was part of this early centre, which flourished a thousand years ago. The book is an indispensable resource for family history and local history. It is also of more general interest because of its glimpses of the Saxon colonization process. It is 360 pages long, illustrated with photos and drawings. There are plans of the church and churchyard, as well as an index, to help the reader locate inscriptions - or even a lost relative.
