Richard Clements

I am Richard Clements, a keen amateur historian and writer with a passion for uncovering the lesser-known histories and mysteries that inhabit the world around us. My writings often focus on individuals and locations to bring intriguing historical narratives and legends to a wider audience. During the summer months, you will find me travelling around my home region of the East of England exploring historical locations and tracking down the unusual stories connected to them.
