A new trail launched in partnership with Colchester Young Archaeologists Club – the result of an English Heritage challenge to deliver ‘a little known or forgotten’ local story – tells the tale of some ordinary Colchester people whose lives took an extraordinary turn, at a shocking event in the town more than 450 years ago. With Barbara Butler.

Meet: 6pm, St James’s Church, East Hill (1.5m, 1.5hrs)

ACCESSIBILITY: A city centre walk that is hard-surfaced all the way and step-free. Some sections with medium-steep gradients (e.g. East Hill and Dutch Quarter). Wheelchair users in need of assistance will find plenty of help on hand, but please be in touch to discuss further if necessary. There is seating near Balkerne Gate and in Castle Park. No dogs allowed in Castle Park.
