While researching a specific incident in Lavington history, I took out a subscription to the British Newspaper Archive, and immediately found myself totally immersed in events which happened in our villages.This book chronicles cases of: freak storms, an agricultural revolt that resulted in strikes (even before the time of the Tolpuddle Martyrs, who are credited with forming the first trade union), arson, poisoning, and abduction, all occurring in and around West Lavington during the Victorian age.
