A Concise History of Abbots Langley
Compiled and edited by Trevor Baker and Robin Mann


A Collection of essays and talks by Clive Clark

Clive Clark was a founding member of the Society and after his death in 1998, ten of his essays and history notes were donated to the Society by his widow, Simonne. In celebration of the Society's 25th Anniversary, three volumes of the essays were published to coincide with the 25th Anniversary Summer Exhibition. Thanks to the support of a generous grant by the Abbots Langley Parish Council, the booklets are available at the modest price of £2.00 per copy (£1.00 to members).

The booklets are available at Society events. All 3 volumes also available by post in the UK for £6.00 + £2.30 p&p. Please e-mail with your address details for postal orders and to enquire about overseas orders.
