| Augustine Steward House, Tombland. Steward was 3 times mayor of the city, he persuaded Henry VIII that the city could buy St Andrews and Blackfriars (then a friary), saving the buildings from the heavy hand of the dissolution and he was instrumental in quelling the Ketts rebellion. An interesting fella. |
Went to Nick Groves' tour of Tombland last Wednesday 27th June, 2 hours in that tiny area, packed with history was surprisingly barely enough. A great evening.
