04 December Hung by Gail Davison

Thomas South is an ancestor of my husband's. You can read more about the Littleport riots here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ely_and_Littleport_riots_of_1816 We'd never seen this stone so that's another reason why we were keen to be in the area.

indeed, must be exciting to have an ancestor that had a role in history.

How fascinating! Must be really cool to dig up historical stuff like this about one's family.

They robbed divers? Just kidding.

The link made a captivating read, Gail. Did you know about this before you and your husband got together? ;-)
