A donation from a Museum supporter.

Early Medieval Dorking is a new book covering the period between 600 and 1200AD, from the first Anglo-Saxon settlement in Dorking through the Norman Conquest and beyond.

Dorking Museum's Susannah Horne has drawn on evidence from history, archaeology, art and literature to create a description of life as it was lived in Dorking in the early medieval period, illustrated with original drawings.

7^th to 8^th centuries: the initial settlement and Anglo-Saxon life in general

9^th to 10^thcenturies: the Danish attacks and Dorking as a royal estate

11^th to 12^th centuries: the Norman Conquest and Domesday Book

Published in 2016 by The Cockerel Press. 118 pages with black and white photographs and drawings.

The book is a little bit scruffy - but the pages are completely readable.
