Opening: They were Squire Craddock’s vintage years, the brief, crowded period beginning immediately after the fillip given to the Sorrel Valley by the 1911 Coronation Jubilee, and moving on into the blazing summer of 1914 that, on looking back a little later, seemed as remote as the Middle Ages.
The first, book covered coronation to coronation, 1902-1911, Edward VII – George V. The sleepy Devon valley gradually awoke to encroaching modern times – motorcars, changing fashions and the suffragist movement.
