Widely regarded as a model of its kind, this book, which took eighteen years to prepare, catalogues the printed County maps of Bedfordshire from Christopher Saxton (1576) to the Ordnance Survey of 1901. It also describes the town plans for Bedford, Leighton Buzzard and Luton for the same period. The complex history of different editions of maps is discussed and explained, making the book an indispensable work of reference for collectors, dealers and local historians.

A close reading of the life and letters of William Hale White shows that some misunderstandings have arisen in the interpretation of this important figure. The book offers such significant issues as doubt, loss of faith, and crises over vocation and church. This work represents a revisionist approach to William Hale White. It corrects previous studies at some important points, questions existing interpretations, and employs new theoretical strategies alongside fresh research in primary sources.
