Fletton was a small rural village in the north of Huntingdonshire, and yet it gave its name to a commodity which sold around the world-the 'fletton' brick.

This talk explores how Fletton grew as a result of the 'fletton' brick and the influence of J. C. Hill, the founder of the London Brick Company.

About Sadie McMullon

I am a local historian with a special interest in brickmaking in the Victorian period, although I love any period of history.

I have given talks on a wide range of topics to groups varying in size from 5 to 50.

I have also given more specialised talks to family historians about the area their ancestors come from.
