New Publication from The Heritage Group Vice Chairman, David Turner

'The Story of the Harbury Enclosures' is our first publication for some time.

An A3, portrait, spiral bound book designed and produced by David Turner as a result of his extensive work on digitising the original 'inclusion' document held at the Warwick Records Office. The book includes some background information of the land owners as well as a redrawn map of the land distribution made by law in the late 18th Century.

Harbury is a village whose history is built upon agriculture and this document captures this important moment in time when common land came under ownership.

It’s well worth a look and we have copies of it in the Centre.
