The fighting bricklayers of Writtle

The item chosen by Margaret Mills for her historical feature this week involved a conflagration which occurred in a church no less, and was connected with some striking bricklayers, supposedly employed in the construction of the railway line near the Essex village of Writtle.

This incident dates back to April 1839.
