A Must-Have for Lingwick Descendants

This is a fantastic resource for anyone with roots in the Lingwick area, especially those with a connection to the North Hill. It's well-researched and rich in local detail—an invaluable addition to my family history collection. A map overlay showing the locations of the families would be a wonderful enhancement, though understandably, some details may be lost to time. Still, this book preserves so much that might otherwise have been forgotten. Highly recommended!
