'Saffron Walden and the English Civil War'

Written by Martyn Everett

Saffron Walden was briefly at the centre of the political storm that shook England during the English Civil War.

In this book, local historian Martyn Everett provides a detailed examination of the events that shook the town during those turbulent years - including the rise of the "Agitators" in the New Model Army, the debates held by the soldiers in the church, and the Battle of Linton - as ordinary people moved onto the stage of history.

Three of the publications have been scanned from the original copies held by Saffron Walden Museum. Two others have been sourced from the British Library.

These facsimiles will be preceded by a scholarly essay on the period by former Town Librarian, Martyn Everett, and a bibliographic survey of the original publications by Bruce Tice.
