The Miscellany

FOR THE GOOD OF THIS TOWN; the story of 97 Maidstone aldermen four centuries ago.

'A detailed piece of research which makes a real contribution to the history of Maidstone' (Kent Historian Dr Jacqueline Bower)

'A beautiful example of how local history can illuminate national: how the borough records of a provincial town can demonstrate the intertwining of civil and religious life at a pivotal time in our history' (Deputy Archivist for West Sussex, Peter Wilkinson MA)

'Well done, you have brought it all to life!' (Cornish local historian Barbara Birchwood-Harper, BA, museum curator and author of "The Book of Looe")

At her book launch, the author (right) showed the Mayor of Maidstone, Cllr Peter Parvin and his wife Cllr Daphne (who was Mayor in 1991) stories about their predecessors
