I expect the OP is already aware of them, but the Nuffield studies are a terrific starting point.

I offer the following suggestions for General Elections before 1945:
T. Lloyd, The General Election of 1880, Oxford University Press, 1968. A.K. Russell, Liberal Landslide: The General Election of 1906, David and Charles, 1973. N. Blewitt, The Peers, The Parties and the People: The General Elections of 1910, University of Toronto Press, 1972. A. Thorpe, The British General Election of 1931, Clarendon Press, 1991. T. Stannage, Baldwin Thwarts the Opposition: The British General Election of 1935, Croom Helm, 1980.
For by-elections:
T.G. Otte and P. Readman (eds.), By-Elections in British Politics, 1832-1914, Boydell Press, 2013. C. Cook and J. Ramsden, By-Elections in British Politics, Macmillan, 1973.
But my number one pick for a good read is:
C. Cook, The Age of Alignment: Electoral Politics in Britain 1922-1929, Macmillan, 1975.

For those looking for a longer perspective, Hanham's Elections and Party Management: Politics in the time of Disraeli and Gladstone, is excellent.
