A Publication by Chris Reynolds
The History of Bernards Heath
St Albans
The booklet, A Short History of Bernards Heath, is no more than a brief summary of the research into a proposed full length book about the Heath. Several draft sections of the proposed book, covering general topics relation to Hertfordshire, will be posted on this site, and it may be that the complete "book" will eventually be posted as a web site.
Topics posted so far:
Early Mad Houses in St Albans and Harpenden (re: Oster Hills)
The Agricultural Workers Strike, Sandridge 1873
In addition the lecture/book entitled A Short History of Bernards Heath have been reproduced online - its pages briefly summarising other material which has not yet been written up for publication.
