An old Cottage at Wallington

This book is part of a series of "Highways and Byways" books in which an author wanders round a county reporting what he sees, with good line illustrations, such as the one above. It paints a picture of the towns and villages of Hertfordshire, such as the description of Wallington, together with stories such as the account of Jane Wenham, Witch of Walkern.
