Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Nestling between Eastleigh and Southampton, the parishes of South and North Stoneham (including the village of Bassett) could easily be overlooked. Yet they boast a fascinating history and are full of surprises. Much of old North Stoneham survives, including its famous one-handed church clock, and the village school that was turned into an international jazz club. Yet it is also home to Southampton's Airport and so continues to play a vital part in the vibrant commercial life of the region. South Stoneham, now identified with Swaythling, was home to the powerful Montagu family. Swaythling used to be spelt 'Swathling' until the squire Sir Samuel Montagu, later Lord Swaythling, had a 'y' inserted to improve the pronunciation. (What the squire said went in the old days!) His family occupied South Stoneham House, reputedly designed by the renowned architect Nicholas Hawksmoor, and then moved to Townhill Park House with its glorious gardens laid out by Gertrude Jekyll. Ewen Montagu was a lawyer who became well known as Recorder of Southampton whilst Ivor Montagu, a communist, produced Hitchcock thrillers, co-wrote the film Scott of the Antarctic and helped revive table tennis as a competitive sport! In The Boole of The Stonehams, John Edgar Mann guides us on a copiously illustrated journey through an intriguing slice of English history, chronicling a colourful pageant of places, people and events. Packed with old photographs, this book will be an invaluable record for anyone with an interest in the parishes and families that called the Stonehams home. b24. unkown (illustratore).…
