Logaston Press is rooted in the people and places of the Southern Marches. We are dedicated to publishing books that explore and illuminate this extraordinary part of the world – for those who live here and beyond.
The local publishing company Logaston Press takes its name from the hamlet of Little Logaston, in the beautiful countryside of rural north-west Herefordshire. It was here that Logaston Press was set up by Andy Johnson in 1983, and later run by Andy together with his wife Karen.
In 2018 Andy and Karen handed over the reins to Richard and Su Wheeler, who now run Logaston Press from the nearby village of Eardisley. Everything is done on site – editing, design and layout, typesetting, storage and distribution. Only the printing is carried out elsewhere.

I’ve rarely come across other books that so effortlessly combine such beautiful presentation with such rigorous and engaging scholarly content. – S.P.
