In a Nutshell: A History of Kentish Cobnuts (2011) by Meg Game offers an engaging insight into the story of cobnut cultivation in Kent — from its early roots to its peak as a staple of Victorian markets.
This 36-page A5 booklet, complete with photographs, charts the rise, decline, and revival of this uniquely British nut. It reflects on the cultural significance of cobnuts, their role in Kentish life, and the growers who helped shape the tradition.
Sadly, this title is now out of print and no longer available to purchase. It remains a valuable resource for those interested in the agricultural and cultural history of the Kentish cobnut.
