Abstract | The participants in this session will consider the nature of the evidence for REED activities in the county collections they are editing raising the complex questions of why so little evidence survives from these counties. Was there no activity? Was the evidence as well as the activity suppressed by officials of radical religious persuasion? What made these counties north of London different? |
