1666: Plague, War and Hellfire with Rebecca Rideal

Right trusty and well beloved, we greet you well!

I am delighted to introduce today’s guest, Rebecca Rideal and we’re going to talk about her book '1666: Plague, War and Hellfire', which is particularly relevant due to the recent anniversary of the Great Fire of London.

Let's dive into the history of the mid-1660's and see not only why The Plague, The War and the Fire happened, but also what was life like preceding these.

What were some of the great inventions of the 1660's?  What was London like in the 17th century?
