Linton's Children's History Walk







Weren't we lucky with the weather? Thank - you to Garth, and his 350 year old companions, for bringing history to life today. Around 70 people met up at the Grip and enjoyed learning about the Battle of Linton and how frightening it must have been for the people living in the houses in the High Street.

Whose side would you choose to be on in the bloody Civil War? Most of us voted for the Roundheads, the winners on that ocassion.

I think the Wedding party in St Mary's Church were rather surprised to see a Cavalier, and a Roundhead and his wife competing for the photographs. Watch out for a report in the Haverhill Echo and the Saffron Walden Reporter next week.
