Secret Horsham
Secret Horsham
In this book author Maggie Weir-Wilson reveals the hidden history of Horsham. Unsavoury tasks such as public hangings were banished to the common on the edge of town, along with leather tanning, while the town centre was the home of several weekly markets and annual fairs. A dragon was reported to be stalking the area in 1614 and is now a symbol of the town. The area was also the home of the young Catherine Howard, Henry VIII's fifth wife, as well as William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, and the radical poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. There are tales of ghastly crimes and punishment, the impact of wars at home and abroad, famous and notorious characters, writers and artists, poverty, industry, wealth and more in Secret Horsham as the author explores the little-known history of this West Sussex town.
