Courage, Crime & Charity in the City of London

This little book is a guide for curious visitors and Londoners alike who want to explore the City off the beaten track.

Most of the memorials it will lead them to are no more than a ten-minute walk apart, but the people and stories it will introduce them to cover hundreds of years of a diverse and rich history.

John Gillman's book reveals the stories and tales that lie behind these memorials – of gruesome murders and executions, of great bravery and terrible tragedies, of boundless generosity and intriguing curiosities.
