Books By John Woodhams, Margaret Woodhams - Author

John Woodhams was born and brought up on the Isle of Wight, and qualified as a chartered surveyor, but for a number of years ran his own business as a tour operator, specialising in small group continental tours by train, and UK tours using restored vintage motor coaches. He and Margaret now live in Wingham, a village close to Canterbury, hence his interest in the history of the city. He has previously written several books on transport subjects, but this is his first local history title. Margaret Woodhams was born in Kent and attended school in the county before going to the University of Lancaster. She studied for her PGCE at Christ Church University at Canterbury and became a secondary school English teacher. She took early retirement a few years ago and since then has become a guide in Canterbury Cathedral which has fostered her interest in local history and archaeology.
