Unfortunately Margaret Mills is rather poorly just now but hopefully she will be back with us before too long but JULIAN WHYBRA bravely stepped into the breach today to tell us all about The Muster Roll of 1539 and the horrors resulting from the Marian Persecutions between the years of 1555 and 1558 and how these two events impacted on the inhabitants of Billericay.
You can listen again to what Julian told me by clicking on the link below:-
You can also read all about these two events in more detail in a book Julian has written called Billericay People Volume I THE MUSTER ROLL 1539 AND THE MARIAN PERSECUTIONS 1555-58.
It’s available from the Cater Museum in Billericay who will benefit from all the profits derived from sales and can be yours for just £9:75.
See you next time,
Scott
