Sometime ago I downloaded "An historical & descriptive account of the town & castle of Warwick & of the neighbouring spa of Leamington to which are added short notices of the towns, villages, etc within the circuit of ten miles, intended principally for the information of strangers" published in 1815 (almost 500 pages). Didn’t think to mention it as I imagined everyone already knew about Google books! I was particularly interested in one of the appendices concerning the right of commons in Warwick as one of my direct ancestors was a herdsman on the common in his old age and several of my ancestors had grazing rights for a horse or a cow. No connection with Google books, but if you have any Victorian architects or builders in your family or are interested in any of the many Victorian churches that sprung up and have since been bombed, demolished or closed, I recommend this excellent archive put on line by Lambeth Palace Library. It covers the whole country, including many Warwickshire churches, particularly in the Birmingham area. "The ICBS (Incorporated Church Building Society) archive" www.churchplansonline.org "includes over 15,000 files relating to applications by parishes for grants from the Society. The earliest file is dated 1818 and the latest 1982. Individual files may include application forms, correspondence, plans, building specifications, engravings or artists' impressions, certificates of satisfactory completion, parochial subscription lists, parish magazines, and photographs (from 1867 onwards). There are also minute books for the period 1818-1987 which record the proceedings of committees and AGMs. The minute books are very useful in filling in the gaps where files haven't survived. There is also an additional volume relating to the foundation of the Society in 1818. Some 12,300 plans are included in these files which, in some instances, are the only surviving evidence for the layout of the church before restoration. Where the church has since been demolished, it may be the only extant plan." MAR in France.
