Hertfordshire books: History & Heritage
	Architecture and Image-building in Seventeenth-century Hertfordshire (Oxford Historical Monographs) The seventeenth century witnessed a radical and far-reaching transformation in English architecture, as new and purer forms of classical design became firmly established, sweeping away earlier fashions. How this dramatic change came about at local level has never been fully understood. Using Hertfordshire as a case-study, this ground-breaking, interdisciplinary book reconstructs the complete built landscape-not just houses but churches, momnnuments, and almshouses-to reveal a competitive and visually sensitive environment in which people at all social levels exploited architectural display to enhance their personal image. New fashions were an important weapon in this struggle. Because only the county elite possessed the necessary contacts and resources to obtain the latest classical designs, such patterns became badges of status, symbols not just of cultural aspirations but of social ambition. Paul Hunneyball demonstrates that classical architecture caught on at local level less because it was aesthetically superior than because its advocates were socially superior.

	Hertfordshire in Old Photographs: From the Judges Postcard Archive Collection (In Old Photographs S.) Judges Postcards have been celebrating the British landscape for over a hundred years. In the nature of their business, photographers have been despatched at intervals in that time to update images and to record changes in major destinations and quiet corners of the realm. The need for current images inevitably created a growing archive chronicling the times before change occurred. That archive has now become a unique and priceless record of a century of such change and this book draws on it to present a superb selection of images of Hertfordshire's past. The sheer quality of Judges' photography combines with the author's informative and entertaining commentary to create an essential addition to the bookshelf, an ideal gift and a surprisingly comprehensive introduction to the county. Price: £6.99 Publication: April 21, 2005
	Hertfordshire Murders In spite of its small size and rural character Hertfordshire has been the location for some of the most infamous and fiendish murders in the history of England. Spanning four centuries, this title contains accounts of many of these crimes, including several never included in a book before. The book draws largely from unused archive material. Among the murders included are the attempt to murder Charles II by a group of renegade publicans, the murder of a reputed witch by an angry village mob and the story of John Thurtell who shot the regency buck William Ware over gambling debts. His execution attracted a crowd of 20,000. Also featured is the last woman to be executed in Hertfordshire - she murdered her sister, an inmate in a lunatic asylum, and the unsolved murder of Ann Noblett whose frozen corpse was discovered in the middle of summer.
