What if one of the oldest houses in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England, finally told the stories of the people that lived in it? Their trials, tribulations, lives and deaths? Their struggles to survive the turbulent times Medieval life threw at them?
How were they affected by, or even involved in, some of the monumental historical events that Bury St Edmunds experienced?
In The Crown Post author and former resident of the house, has woven a compelling and fascinating tale that combines factual occurrences with the fictional characters who might have lived in the (real) house.
