WASPERTON PUBLICATIONS :
Two publications have been produced within the last five years, showing
the history and development of the Parish of Wasperton:
Wasperton Chronicle is a 143 page hard back book, measuring 21.5 x 30 cm, published privately by Victor Oubridge.
Victor was a resident of Wasperton from 1948 until 2001 during which time he researched the history of the village from the period of the Domesday Book until the Second World War. A brief epilogue was later added which brings the history up to 1999. The work includes the development of farms within the Parish and the development of Wasperton village. A series of maps, the earliest dating from 1686, photographs, and pictures further enhance this interesting and informative book.
Wasperton Only is a 35 page booklet measuring 20.8 x 29.6 cm, published by Wasperton residents in 2000 to celebrate the Millennium. The idea was to produce a record of life in Wasperton at the turn of the century, such as information on population statistics, where people work and shop, religious and social life and leisure activities. Also included are details of St John the Baptist Church and other buildings in the village, a brief history of Wasperton, details of archaeological finds, a map of the Parish footpaths, lists of flora and fauna identified in the Parish, as well as photographs and other illustrations.
These publications are priced as follows:
Wasperton Chronicle is unfortunately now out
of print and there is unlikely to be another print run. However, copies are available
in Warwick Library, telephone 01926 412189.
