This tale, like all of our tales, weaves strands of fortune (and misfortune) over time and space, drawing the experience and struggles of ordinary folk from across the North and West of the British Isles. From the chronic civil wars of the early modern period to the repression and emancipation of urbanisation and the industrial revolution, this timeline charts individual experience imagined in counting houses, hedgerows, battlefields and sacred spaces.
