A look at the present plight and the future shape of town and country: compiled and introduced by NICHOLAS TAYLOR The Families of Cublinpfon

But the majority of the population, the families of smallholders who have farmed the north Bucks villages for centuries, are not as mobile and the destruction of their way of life would be irremediable.
