Description
Shaftesbury Through Time by Roger Guttridge explores the history and transformation of this Dorset town. Founded in 888 by King Alfred, the abbey was one of the richest religious establishments in the country before its destruction during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539. The town's streets, buildings, and enterprises have undergone significant changes over the years, shaped by their citizens' needs and experiences. Using the Gold Hill Museum archive, Guttridge uncovers the stories behind Shaftesbury's evolution, from its medieval past to its modern-day character. This engaging book offers a fascinating look at how a town has developed and adapted over time, making it an interesting read for anyone curious about history and local heritage.
