The Napoleonic Prison of Norman Cross: The Lost Town of Huntingdonshire

English

By (author): Paul Chamberlain

Norman Cross was the site of the worlds first purpose-built prisoner-of- war camp constructed during the Napoleonic Wars. Opened in 1797, it was more than just a prison: it was a town in itself, with houses, offices, butchers, bakers, a hospital, a school, a market and a banking system. It was an important prison and military establishment in the east of England with a lively community of some 7,000 French inmates. Alongside a comprehensive examination of the prison itself, this detailed and informative book, compiled by a leading expert on the Napoleonic era, explores what life was like for inmates and turnkeys alike the clothing, food, health, education, punishment and, ultimately, the closure of the depot in 1814.
