Donation of Historic Books
03 March 2015
James Evans (B1946-51) offered to donate a set of historic books to the Aldenham School Library. Librarian, Anthony Nelson (CR2009-Present) was delighted to accept the offer of 3 volumes of the History and Antiquities of the County of Hertford. This set of books is regarded as the definitive history of Hertfordshire, at least up until the early 19th century, when they were published. Volume I was published in 1815, Vol. II in 1821 and Vol. III in 1827. The author was Robert Clutterbuck FSA of Watford and the first volume has an interesting section about the Aldenham area. James presented the books to the School on Monday 2nd March 2015 and a special place will be found to display these highly prized works, which will enhance the Library's local history section.
