The details were collected and written by W.J.Denman, a local historian of the period. He wrote various articles for newspapers and magasines, and Crawley was his passion. His ambitions to write a book in retirement was curtailed by the onset of world war 11, and ill health. He died on 9th May 1945. Since that time the family have retained all his notes and articles. In 1993 his grand daughter who was custonian of his work, decided to correlate his writing into bookform. Whilst lavishly illustrated with old photographs, it is a story of everyday life of the villagers. The second section, is specifically W.J.D.s writing in 1927. Many recent discoveries in the town may have made his observations incorrect, in relation to the age of buildings. As many years have passed since the initial author's death, the first section informs the reader of whom he was, interwoven with the family is local history, of previous generations.
