Nobody takes much notice of Chestnut trees but they
have a fascinating and very varied story to tell.
This is the first social history of the tree in Britain,
reviewing whether the Romans introduced it or not,
and why, through 2000 years of usage in Britain. Topics
include coppice woodlands, avenues and parks, mining,
hop poles, chestnut paling fencing, through to tannins
in modern industries. The subject area is the most extensive
of any of our books to date and is the most likely to offer 'something for everybody'.
For talks, it has been divided into several different themes.
Readers are reporting back that this is our most interesting
publication and the best illustrated.
