An engaging account of the Cocks family and their life at Napton Lock as carpenters on the Oxford Canal for more than a hundred years.
Painstaking research over many years, including parish registers, canal records and family recollections, has enabled Michael Caton to compile a detailed history of his family’s role as lock carpenters from 1833 to 1937.
Combining social, family and canal history, the book provides an insight into the day-to-day work of a lock carpenter and of a family living by the canal, as well as introducing history of Napton and the surrounding area.
Illustrated with photos dating back to 1866, The Cocks of Napton Locks will be enjoyed by those with an interest in our canals, social and local history.
