Victorian Heritage of Elvetham –The Society is delighted to promote committee member Andy Morris’s latest book on the Victorian Heritage of Elvetham. It is a companion publication to the previous book on the Victorian Heritage of Hartley Wintney. Andy has again made use of the tithe map for Elvetham, published in 1839, together with the seven census returns between 1841 and 1901 to document and provide a picture of Victorian life in the old ecclesiastical parish of Elvetham before it was incorporated into the present-day civil parish of Hartley Wintney. A series of maps have been drawn and compared with post Victorian Ordnance Survey maps to illustrate how surprisingly little Elvetham has changed since the Victorian period. We are sure that this will be an interesting read and perhaps a suitable Christmas present! To order your copy (priced at only £8, this can be done via the website.
