Celtic Fire & Roman Rule is the third book in the Norfolk Origins series from Poppyland.
It tells the story of the Icene, the first recognised tribe to inhabit the county, and Boudicca the most famous of all Celtic leaders, who was much later in Englands history to become the 'model' for Britainnia.
Then the years of Roman rule, when the conquerors built the towns and roads that set the foundations of what we have today.
This book tells the stories of both the military conflicts and the ways of life of the people, and give a bit more depth to this interesting period of Norfolks history.

This book chronicles the history of Norfolk not just from a farming perspective, but from the development of towns and villages, and the influence the church, the landed gentry, the coming (and the going) of the railways, and the wars.

Susanna Wade Martins has created an easy to read history of the county and its people from the poor labourer in his cottage to the lord in his stately home. Well illustrated with drawings, maps and photographs, it is a worthy addition to any book collection.
