'An introduction to his Civil War novel 'The Tailor Spy and the Little Maid'

Essentially about the Battle of Worcestershire. Many people are aware of the escape made by young Charles II after the battle, but the story of the townsfolk and the Scottish Battalions who suffered in the build up to the battle, has hardly been told. This focuses on two people (historically recorded) who influenced the outcome.

Wades Green is the name of a small settlement near the village of Church Minshull, Cheshire.

Wade's Green is also a former plantation now used by the Turks and Caicos National Trust to celebrate emancipation.

The talk explores how, strangely, the two are linked via an 'ordinary' Cheshire farming family from Gawsworth, a newspaper advert, slavery, several cotton plantations and an unusual and unexpected inheritance.
