Description
Kersey Through the Centuries gives us a new and exciting picture of Kersey life through the ages. Based on a broad selection of records, it follows the peaks and troughs of Kersey’s history and contains true accounts of fascinating and sometimes gruesome events. Kersey’s prosperity peaked in the 15th century at which time a new breed of successful clothiers emerged who became landowners and challenged the aristocratic status quo. Many of the village’s beautiful buildings originate from this period, preserved mainly due to the poverty in later centuries which precluded redevelopment.
