Saffron Story Leaflet

This leaflet tells the story of the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus) and explains how it relates to the growth and prosperity of Saffron Walden. It was written and researched by Judith Rodden, Chair of Saffron Walden Heritage Development Group. The leaflet was then designed and printed by Fraser Parry of Fraser Parry Photography and Creative Design
