The Story of Wansford by David Stuart-Mogg is handsomely printed on quality chromo paper by Peter Spiegl of Stamford… Mr. Stuart-Mogg is a faithful narrator of the many quirks of village history…Impeccably written and lovingly researched, The Story of Wansford reeks of community involvement. Net proceeds from its sales are being donated to St Mary’s church.

The Rev. Canon Thomas Christie, Living Villages, April 2007.

…let me commend ‘The Story of Wansford’ by David Stuart-Mogg. Originally published for the Millennium, with contributions from villagers and neighbouring communities, it has now been extensively updated and considerably enlarged with much new information and an abundance of vintage photographs.
