Dunstable in Detail, published by The Book Castle, was Nigel Benson's first full-length book. This book includes original pen-and-ink illustrations and photographs plus a unique pull-out map of Dunstable town centre. There are 100 numbered features of interest within a half mile radius of the crossroads at the town centre, plus an extensive index and bibliography, enabling the book to be used as a practical tour guide as well as the standard reference for Dunstable's history.
The book cover shows the Dunstable Priory Church, founded 1132. It was at this church that Henry VIII formally announced his divorce with Queen Catherine of Aragon in 1533.
