Gordon Tily, 1935 - 2005, carried on Percy's work and compiled this book covering the history of this beautiful part of south Gloucestershire, from pre-history to the 20th Century.
Numerous photographs, both old and modern, illustrate the text and 14 appendices provide a wealth of detail which will be invaluable to local and family historians with an interest in this and similar towns in the area.

About the Author
He was educated first at St John's C of E School when it was in Hatters Lane and the Old Grammar School and then in 1946 went to Chipping Sodbury Grammar School. He left in 1951 to join the Royal Air Force as a Halton Apprentice.
Whilst in the RAF, Gordon had a variety of jobs, his last being in Recruitment, based in the centre of Bristol. He retired from the RAF in 1969 to work in Bristol and then three years later he joined British Aerospace, first as a Technical Author and then for his last ten years as the Editor of the Site Newspaper. When the Dynamics Division at Filton was drastically reduced, he took early retirement in 1989.
Gordon continued to live in the house he had bought in 1967 in Yate until 2000, when he and his wife, Janet, moved to the Isle of Bute in Scotland to be with his son, Edward who owns a computer repair and maintenance business on the island.
Gordon died in October 2005 after a short illness and is fondly remembered by many on the island as a 'very smart gentleman'.
