An Ickleford Scrapbook is a miscellany of Ickleford village life giving a flavour of the village, its events and people throughout the 20th century. The book is full of pictures from public and private collections (many published for the first time), and villagers' rememberances.

For those who know Ickleford it will revive memories of forgotten times and faces, for anyone with an interest in the recent past the book gives a glimpse of changing rural life. from the arrival of the bicycle to the modern combine harvester, from a world of the manor and the church to one of modern informality.
