Description
A book exploring the social history of Saffron Walden in the early to mid 19th century is long overdue. Using little-known archives, the author uncovers the dynamics of the society which laid the foundations for the town we know today.
Carefully researched and well written, this challenging and vivid account will appeal to researchers, family historians and all those absorbed in the town’s past. This is the real stuff of local history, which will force us to discard our ‘chocolate-box’ image of Saffron Walden.
