Search for e.g. Flaxley - up comes part of a page - click on this to get the full pages etc.

It's readable page by page - lots of local surnames and places

Great resource-thanks for the link. A very brief search found the charity part- founded by brother of an Ambery ancestor. I knew about it already but more detail is always interesting.
