Great Plague of London

Available for over a year

Professor Suzannah Lipscomb and historian Rebecca Rideal revisit the summer of 1665, as a few suspicious deaths in London grew into a crisis that swept through the city with devastating speed. Entire households vanished, fear curdled into suspicion, and outsiders were written out of the official record - and Restoration England was reshaped forever. Presented by Professor Suzannah Lipscomb. The researcher is Max Wintle, audio editor is Amy Haddow and the producer is Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.
