Heroes, Villains and Victims of Norwich

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.
