A detailed and highly informative treatise on our Ward which was published in 1985 to coincide with the election to be Lord Mayor of the then President, the late Sir Allan Davis GBE CA. 
The publication was supported financially by most of the prominent Cripplegate business houses and the Livery Companies.  It features a Foreword by Lord Briggs of Worcester College, Oxford, has 16 Chapters, 2 Appendicies, 16 pages of Illustrations and a comprehensive Index.  
The initial photograph of Alderman and Mrs Davis is particularly attractive. 
The volume is bound in a Glossy Paper Cover and has 179 pages.

The Authors were greatly respected City figures both of whom were expert in their knowledge of our history and painstaking in the months of research necessary for accuracy.
This book will be found to be invaluable in the fields of City research, Genealogy and Historical studies as well as being a most attractive addition to a personal library.  Every Ward Club Member can feel a distinct sense of pride that such a book has come through our encouragement.

Much more than the narrow chronicle of one academic institution over 160 years, Edgar Jones's book: University College Durham: A Social History, is an account of the social and educational changes that occurred during this period.  A period which saw the fastest and most far-reaching changes in the social order.  The story of these changes, as seen through the vicissitudes of one College is told in a brisk entertaining way.

Edgar Jones was up at University College Durham from 1947 to 1951, and considers his years there the happiest, as well as the most formative, of his life.  Now retired, he taught English and Latin at Tiffin School, Kingston upon Thames, before going to teach at the University of Aberystwyth.  A specialist in the literature of of the late Nineteenth Century, especially that of the Eighteen Nineties, he has had a number of publications on this period as ell as on the first decade of the Twentieth Century
