A collection of regional bread recipes from across Canada, organized by province.

Alciston's church dates back to Saxon times, but after the Norman Conquest the village was run from Battle Abbey. It became prosperous under a progressive sheep-and-corn system. When Battle Abbey was seized by Henry VIII, the Gages of Firle became Alciston's new feudal masters. This is a village with only two owners in a thousand years. The book reviews the site's history, then gives a full record of all the inscriptions in the church and churchyard, together with plans and indexes. It is an invaluable resource for local and family history, the latest in a series that includes East Blatchington, Seaford, Bishopstone, Berwick and Selmeston. 203pp with 61 black and white illustrations.

Selmeston in Sussex was a settlement long before the Saxons arrived, even though it has a Saxon name. Eight thousand years ago, stone age houses stood close to the site of the church. The unusual circular churchyard hints at a pre-Christian origin. The book reviews the site's history and gives a full record of all the inscriptions, together with plans, photos and indexes. 242 pages long, this book is an invaluable resource for both local and family history.
