Selmeston in Sussex was a settlement long before the Saxons arrived, even though it has a Saxon name. Eight thousand years ago, stone age houses stood close to the site of the church. The unusual circular churchyard hints at a pre-Christian origin. The book reviews the site's history and gives a full record of all the inscriptions, together with plans, photos and indexes. 242 pages long, this book is an invaluable resource for both local and family history.

Rodney Castleden, the son of a crime scene investigator, has written over 50 books, ranging from history and archaeology to geography and true crime. Ann Murray is a researcher who has worked on several books of monumental inscriptions.
