Heroes,
Villains and Victims of Norwich
Pamela Brooks
Heroes, Villains and Victims of Norwich
is a collection of stories about some of the people
who have helped to shape Norwich - including philanthropic
industrialists such as J. J. Colman, notorious murderers
such as William Sheward, and 'characters' such as
Billy Bluelight, as well as stars in sport, art, music
and literature.
Add in the nation's greatest maritime hero and its
World War I heroine, the chilling stories of martyrs
and the man who tried to get 'all bond men made free',
and the uplifting stories of people who really made
a difference, and you get a fascinating mix of what
made Norwich tick over the last thousand years.
Bringing together countless memorable tales, this
book would be a wonderful read for local history enthusiasts
and residents of Norwich alike.
