Hi,
It’’s been awhile since my last post but I have been busy redoing my Family Tree. I wonder if anyone can suggest where I can get hold of old maps of the area?

Am I right in thinking that many of the hamlets were built specifically for farm workers before they began to reach village status? Any books on this would be a help.
