There is much more to the history of Harrow than that of the famous school, but because of the school and its church, it has kept most of Harrow-on-the-Hill free from the usual development. A great deal of the area's history concerns Harrow's surrounding hamlets, such as Roxeth, Sudbury and Wealdstone.
The author in her expert way explains the intensification of housing and industry, well beneath the spire of Harrow church, with the aid of numerous illustrations. This is the first book ever to deal so thoroughly with Harrow's social and political history.
