Bloody Marsh A Seventeenth-Century Village in Crisis

A story of rising poverty, enclosure, accusations of rape, and the brutal confrontation of the landed and the dispossessed'. What began as a dispute over grazing rights in the village of Walberswick in Suffolk in April 1644, led to the death of a man and the subsequent hanging of three others. The events of this month are pieced together through primary source material and the events are used as a medium for discussing life in the seventeenth century community. A great story and a great book.Warner, Peter is the author of 'Bloody Marsh A Seventeenth-Century Village in Crisis' with ISBN 9780953863013 and ISBN 0953863018.
