About This Item
In the late 1820s John Slade borrowed heavily to set up as a maltster and brewer in Sherborne, but something went wrong, and he was pursued for debt. He fled Sherborne at Easter 1830 and was subsequently declared bankrupt - never to be heard of again. This account uses eyewitness statements to bring to life his frantic last hours in Sherborne.
