Norman Neasom's Sketch Map of how Redditch may have looked in 1776
The origins of the name 'Nancy Butterfly' can be seen in the following sketch of Redditch as it might have appeared in 1776. The House of 'Nancy Buterfly' is highlighted. It is believed that Nancy earned her living through somewhat disreputable means! (Scroll down and across to see the whole sketch). The sketch was drawn by Redditch Artist, Norman Neasom RWS, RBSA, and is reproduced here with his kind permission. You can find out more about Norman's work, including his memories of an upbringing on Birchensale Farm, via his website: www.neasomfineart.co.uk
