Description
This landmark volume offers a unique and detailed portrait of Saffron Walden at the time when it was still known as Chepyng (or Market) Walden. The author vividly brings to life the town as it grew and changed almost six centuries ago, leaving a legacy we still enjoy today. This was the dynamic period when the magnificent church was being built, there was a rich cultural life, sophisticated trading patterns and saffron was becoming an important crop.
