THE CLANDONS - A Look into the Past
This book is a collection of memories of the villages by Clandon people past and present with each chapter written by a different author.
The 85 page book was jointly published by the Clandon Society and the Parish Councils of East and West Clandon in 1991. As the book is now out of print an electronic version has now been made available to download in PDF format.
