Surrey is home to more than just garden designers, show business personalities and (rather good) cricketers as this volume, devoted to the county's archaeology and history, amply demonstrates. Published to coincide with the sesquicentenary of the Surrey Archaeological Society, it gathers together a number of papers read at a conference held at the University of Surrey in June 2001. In practical terms it updates and expands the scope of the Society's 1987 volume Archaeology in Surrey to 1540.
