The History Of Dorchester, Oxfordshire, British Earthworks, Roman Camp, Bishopric, And The Architectural History Of The Church (1882) by John Henry Parker is a comprehensive account of the town of Dorchester in Oxfordshire, England. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the ancient British earthworks that surround the town, the Roman camp that was once located nearby, the history of the bishopric that was established in the town in the 7th century, and the architectural history of the town's church. The book is divided into several sections, each of which explores a different aspect of Dorchester's history. The first section provides an overview of the town's geography and geology, as well as a history of its early inhabitants. The second section focuses on the British earthworks that surround the town, including the famous Dyke Hills. The third section covers the Roman camp that was once located nearby, providing a detailed account of its history and significance. The fourth section of the book explores the history of the bishopric that was established in Dorchester in the 7th century, including the lives of the bishops who served there and the role of the bishopric in the town's development. The fifth and final section of the book is devoted to the architectural history of Dorchester's church, including its construction, renovation, and restoration over the centuries. Throughout the book, Parker provides detailed descriptions and illustrations of the various sites and structures he discusses, making it an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of Dorchester or the broader history of England.With A General Introduction.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
