There are only a few copies left of  "A Jugful of Much Cowarne Cider".  This book,  a Local Heritage Initiative, tells of life in the parish during the 20th Century by over 50 residents. It tells of the annual hop picking, the tribulations of farming and war time life, and the time before mains electricity and water. Over 200 pages long and with over 100 photographs it includes the story of the Bourne family of Cowarne Court, the last 69 years of Cowarne School, and families in the parish at the 1901 census.
