An account of the citizens of the town through their Misdeeds, Thefts, foul crimes against their Betters, petty Arguments, Breaches of the peace and Tales of Drunkenness in the oldest INNs of the Place.

From the mid 18th century through to the early 20th century, the Gloucestershire town of Northleach has boasted its fair share of criminals.

Drawn from archives and legends, Deri Marshall uncovers their stories. How did a coach driver foil a robbery? What happened on election day in 1845? And who was sentenced to hard labour in the infamous Northleach gaol?

With maps and photographs of the principal locations

Northleach boasts an extraordinarily well-preserved prison, built in 1792 and seeing continual use throughout the Victorian period. This pocketbook history is a fascinating insight into law and order in rural England.
