About the Book

‘Uniquely well-informed, all-encompassing and loving.’ - Pam Ayres, poet ‘Amazing revelations about my home county.’ - Adam Henson, Countryfile presenter Did you know that Sir Peter Scott was named after Peter Pan; a Stroud man invented instant custard; and a Cotswold manor house is designed to look exactly like the Palace of Westminster? Gloucestershire has been at the forefront of world-changing innovation throughout history, has inspired great works of literature and even has its own rhyming slang. Join broadcaster Mark Cummings on a joyful journey exploring the Gloucestershire streets that gave us Scrooge and Long John Silver, find out where classic TV and movie scenes were filmed and feast on delicious nuggets about royalty, rock stars and rugby legends. Walk with Mark to London in the footsteps of Dick Whittington, discover the true meaning behind Gloucestershire’s quirky place names, take advantage of unique tips leading you to hidden gems across the county and test what you’ve learned with Mark’s 100 quiz questions, a challenge for locals and visitors alike.

Review :
‘I couldn’t wait for Glorious Gloucestershire to be published! I learned so much from Mark’s uniquely well-informed, all-encompassing and loving look at the matchless Cotswolds.’ ‘I never knew my home county had so many amazing claims to fame. I will enjoy testing friends and family with the 100 local quiz questions. I can’t wait to take Mark’s advice on how to squeeze every drop out of Gloucestershire.’ ‘A wonderful mixture of history, folklore and local characters. No Gloucestershire home should be without it.’ ‘A brilliant, clever book. Mark Cummings gets it. He understands fully the essence and soul of Gloucestershire and he truly loves it! He is one of us.’ ‘Mark writes just as he broadcasts, with humour and warmth, telling stories about the writers and musicians who have been inspired by our county. I was surprised and intrigued by the stories about Rick Astley, Ivor Novello, Charlie Watts and even Kylie Minogue! Who knew?’ 'The book investigates how the Cotswolds have left their mark on history from Rendcomb's Frederick Sanger who invented DNA sequencing methods to the Mill at Withington that introduced the concept of chicken in a basket.'
