I have been interested in Alfred Williams for many many years, and was lucky enough to find (can't remember where) a copy of his Biography - Alfred Williams - His Life and Work by Leonard Clark, first published in 1945 by William George's Sons, and then in 1969 by Redwood Press Ltd. It is a fascinating book about him with loads of details. Later I also found a copy of - Round About Middle Thames - Glimpses of Rural Victorian Life, which is Williams's writings selected from - Round About the Upper Thames and Round About the Middle Thames - put together by Michael Justin Davis and published in 1982 Alan Sutton Publishing. This give many interesting details of the singers and their lives. I have also made many trips to South Marston to find the house that Williams built for himself - however nowadays the village it totally dominated by the huge Honda Factory - I wonder what Alfred would have said?
