Between the Hills
The Story of Lilley, a Chiltern Village

Roy Pinnock's book Between the Hills The Story of Lilley, a Chiltern Village, is a wonderful atmospheric tale about the Hertfordshire village of Lilley. Roy has collected the reminiscences of villagers together in a heart warming and entertaining book with many pictures of the village and it's people.

This is the story of a classic English village, typical and yet unique, a priceless piece of our heritage. Much of the rural beauty still remains, but the way of life, the superstitions, customs and beliefs described here have largely disappeared.

Among the nostalgic tales, we read about the cart horse that liked a daily pint of ale; about an infamous alchemist who attempted to transmute base metals into gold; about the horse-racing on Lilley Hoo, a famous stretch of common land, often attended by George IV and many county notables; and about the village school where boys were 'thrashed across the knicker-bockers' for very minor misdemeanours.
