BOOK REVIEW
235
An impressive feature of Miss Worsley's book is the respect with which
the author refers to local traditions. It is pleasant to observe these quiet
tributes paid by the scholar to the strength of an oral record that may
well extend back in time beyond the building of the present church.
It is felt that this book has an interest for a readership far wider than
those who are connected with the parish in a personal way. As a micro-
cosm of English history it should be read by all who care for that
continuity with the past which alone makes the future meaningful. As a
record and description of one particular English church, it is a model
worthy of emulation.
