LIKE HISTORY? YOU'LL LOVE REBECCA'S BOOK AND PODCAST


1666 was a watershed year for England. The outbreak of the Great Plague, the eruption of the second Dutch War and the Great Fire of London all struck the country in rapid succession and with devastating repercussions.

Shedding light on these dramatic events, historian Rebecca Rideal reveals an unprecedented period of terror and triumph.

An impressively vivid account of an extraordinary piece of England's history. Rideal is particularly good on the great set pieces - the plague, the fire and (especially) the naval battles - which she brings to dramatic life with telling details. (The Times)

    INTERESTED IN CHARLES I?

    In December 2018, Fellows sold a 17th century Stuart crystal memorial portrait ring, depicting Charles I for £4,083.20 (including fees). 

    The execution of Charles I prompted the emergence of memorial jewellery in Puritan England, with loyal Royalist supporters wearing jewellery set with a secret inscription or image to mourn their deceased king. Memorial jewellery differed from memento mori styles in that it commemorated a particular person.
