John Chandler

Historian John Chandler tells the fascinating illustrated story of the Severn through the lives of the people who lived on its banks - from Maisemore and Ashleworth to Minsterworth and Elmore. Exploring everyday life from medieval times to the Industrial Revolution - from flooding and fishing to cider-making and river crossing - he brings the river and its industry to life and marks publication of the latest volume of the Victoria County History series.
