The document "Historic Sandridge - the story of a Hertfordshire parish" which was published in 1952 is important because it is one of the best chronicles of Thrale history. It gives an insight into the bygone times in which Thrale families used to live, and includes useful information about the history of many Thrale family members. It is reproduced here with the kind consent of author, the late Richard Thrale. 

Historic Sandridge RevisitedHistoric Sandridge is no longer in print in the 1952 form. In 1999 it was updated and rewritten as "Historic Sandridge Revisited" edited by the late Janet R Rose. ISBN 0-9537647-0-2. This has a greater focus on the village of Sandridge and less on Thrale family history.

By: Edward Giles and Richard William Thrale, with sketches by R. Giles. 1952
