Description
From as early as the 15th century, the Gypsy Roma Travellers were part of our landscape, our history, and our heritage. In this compelling and well researched book, Ray Wills, known as The Gypsy Poet, presents a detailed historical and compelling portrait of their lives on their communal encampments on the edge of society.
It was here, within these unique neighbourhoods, that they lived close to the kilns, clay pits, brick yards, and potteries. With their unique skills in brick making, pottery, stone masonry, smithery, horsemanship, haulage and ironmongery, they were a ready workforce. Many of them also possessed mastery in boxing over the years, as well as being great musical entertainers.
The Gypsy Roma Travellers, just like the native Americans and the Australian Aboriginals, were a race apart. They were often misunderstood and mistreated throughout history by numerous governments, the church, and royalty. This is their story.
