A Tunbridge Wells Bibliography Sue Brown Although the history of the town of Tunbridge Wells only goes back to the 17th century, its popularity as a town has generated a surpris- ing amount of literature – from monographs on the efficacy of its min- eral waters to periodical articles on its Victorian architecture. This bibliography aims to be as comprehensive as possible, given the limitations of space. The entries are grouped under the following sub- ject headings:

ARCHITECTURE, ARTS AND CRAFTS ...... 3 BIOGRAPHY ...... 7 CHURCH HISTORY ...... 11 CIVIC HISTORY AND SERVICES ...... 17 GENERAL HISTORY ...... 19 GUIDE BOOKS & TRAVEL ...... 22 ILLUSTRATIONS/PHOTOGRAPHS ...... 26 LITERATURE ...... 28 MAPS AND PLANS ...... 31 MISCELLANEOUS SUBJECTS ...... 34 NATURAL SCIENCES ...... 36 SCHOOLS AND EDUCATION...... 38 & MEDICINE ...... 39 TRANSPORT ...... 42 The entries follow the sequential typographical convention that:  Authors’/artists’ names are IN BOLD UPPER & lower case  Titles are in Italic  Publishers’ names appear third and in standard type; but, where no individual author has been identified, they are [bracketed] in standard UPPER CASE in the author’s position. The bulk of the material may be seen at Tunbridge Wells Reference Library.
