This day-by-day look at the darker side of Sussex's past includes diverse tales of highwaymen, smugglers, murderers, footpads, poachers, rioters and rebels. This sordid cast of characters is deservedly accompanied by accounts of old gaols, bridewells and punishments, as well a liberal smattering of death omens, disasters and peculiar medicine.
