We have had lots of lovely comments from people in Wilstead village but also a few written notes, on Wilshamstead - Homestead of Friends.

This is an admirable history of a village. It is well illustrated with both colour and black and white photographs.If only all of the books such as this which have been written over the last few years could be put together in an archive, what a treasure trove it would be.

Local History Magazine No. 96 May/June 2004

“This book is clearly an essential purchase for anybody with ancestors from Wilshamstead. If your ancestors came from neighbouring parishes for which no similar book has been published then you will also enjoy reading this one”

Bedfordshire Family History Society Journal June 2003

“Just wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed the Wilstead book and was impressed with the amount of research done to produce it. It made me reminisce of times past”

Sheila O’Dell, Canada

“Received my book today and must say how delighted I am with it. I just wanted to keep on reading it. I can only say thank you for taking the time to write this book. I love it”

Wendy Ward, Surrey

“Thank you for the book. What I have read so far is terrific. You must be really proud to know this gem of a book is all down to your hard work”

Karen, Sheffield

“Thank you for taking the time and effort to make it”

“I felt I must write and thank you for the pleasure your book has already given to me. I only received it yesterday but had to read it to the end. Thank you again for the happiness you have given me”

Clarice Widdowson , Lancashire

“My thanks to you for all the memories you have brought back to me and I would guess a lot of other people”
