The book chronicles the history of the ancient town of Pickering in Yorkshire, tracing its development from prehistoric times up to the year 1905. Home explores various phases of the town's evolution, illustrating significant changes and events that shaped its character over the millennia. The opening of the book provides a preface that highlights the contributions of many individuals who assisted the author in compiling this local history. Home reflects on the challenges of creating a coherent narrative from a wealth of ancient records and traditions, emphasizing the town's little-known beauty and historical significance. He aims to document the continued evolution of Pickering, illustrating how various historical events, from prehistoric settlements to the Roman occupation and beyond, have influenced the community and its surrounding landscape.
