The society has published a new book ‘Growing up in Grendon Bishop’ – a childhood reminscence by Leah Handley.
Leah Handley was born in Grendon Bishop in 1920, the third of five children. She loved her rural childhood in the interwar years and her time as a pupil at Bredenbury School, and although she moved to Birmingham when she grew up, as an “old lady of 72” (her words), she jotted down a few reminiscences of her childhood for some young friends living close by. This is a charming account of country life in the 1920s, and a splendid addition to any local history library.
You can buy a copy from our online shop, from the LHS centre or from History on Broad St.
