It shows how it became Alfred the Great's leading fortified town in Saxon times and one of William the Conqueror's early allies when its citizen's allowed his army to cross the Thames. It tells the story of Richard of Wallingford, the Father of Modern Timekeeping and Sir William Blackstone, the celebrated judge whose legal writings became the basis of the U.S. Constitution. In modern times it tells of the town's long connection with Agatha Christie, the Queen of Crime Fiction, who lived there for over 40 years. Written by Nick Brazil See less
