Founded on a prehistoric trackway, Guildford is the County Town of Surrey and is considered to be one of the most beautiful market towns in the south of England. Saxon Guildford grew up around the area of the current St Mary's church and a Norman castle was founded in the town shortly after 1066. Guildford grew in medieval times as it became rich through the woollen trade. This fascinating book depicting Guildford's past is illustrated with over 200 fantastic images and will provide a nostalgic journey to those who have always lived in the town and to newcomers interested in learning more about the area's history.
