Godliness and Governance in Tudor Colchester

The Tudor period was a time of extremes when Henry VIII beheaded wives and Queen Mary executed non-Catholics. With the ascension of Protestant Elizabeth I to the throne, the borough of Colchester breathed relief and set about to establish a Godly society. Historian Laquita M. Higgs shows that Colchester provided one of the earliest illustrations of both the workings and tensions of Puritan town governance.
