The Christchurch Commons – history and walks. (2007).

Natula Publications . ISBN 9781897887646

New book out: a walk through history with local historians Sue Newman and Mike Tizzard. Explore the story of Town Common, Coward’s Marsh, Ogber, Millhams, Portfield, Quomps, Stockers Mead, Bere Mead, Bernard’s Mead and even the Pit Site and find out about their history – centuries of an untold story.

Sue Newman and Mike Tizzard have worked together on many local history projects, initiatives and investigations for nearly two decades, including the Millennium Trail of Blue Plaques and many town walks. For Sue, this is her seventh major local work, and for Mike his first venture into putting his considerable knowledge into print.
