ORCOP: THE STORY OF A HEREFORDSHIRE VILLAGE FROM PRE-HISTORY TO PRESENT TIMES

by Delphine Coleman

Published by Self Publishing Association Ltd.. 1st. 1992

Slightly better than very good condition in a slightly better than very good dustwrapper. The small Herefordshire village of Orcop, with its scattered farms and cottages, is rimmed by a ring of hills which have, for centuries, served to isolate it from the world around. A fascinating amalgram of events and personalities that over the centuries combined to create the Orcop of today. Brown cloth boards, gilt title to spine. B/w photos and maps. 304 pages.

Top edge of text block is lightly browned with minor foxing. Else a lovely clean copy. Black dustwrapper is scuffed.
