A vision of Britain from 1801 to now.
Including maps, statistical trends and historical descriptions.
In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Limebrook like this:
LIMEBROOK, a township in Wigmore parish, Hereford; near the river Lug, 4¼ miles ENE of Presteign. Pop., 178. An Augustinian nunnery was founded here, in the time of Richard I., by the Mortimers; and was given, at the dissolution, to John West and Robert Gratwick.
