To mark the millennium, a comprehensive history of Houghton and Bossington was published at the end of 2000.  The book is packed full of information about the history of the two villages from pre-Roman times, through Medieval and Early Modern times to the present day.  It contains a wealth of wonderful photographs depicting the villages as they were in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, including many great local characters and some of the beautiful houses and buildings.  It is full of historical fact and contains priceless, evocative personal reminiscences.
