May is Local and Community History month. A time to highlight and raise awareness of the past of our local areas and communities.
Christopher Marlowe, dramatist and poet who lived at the same time as William Shakespeare, died violently in a bar in Deptford in May 1593. He is buried in an unmarked grave in St Nicholas's Church Deptford. Lewisham Library staff member Chris Moore explores the colourful but short life of this talented man from our local history past.
The account with images is in Lewisham Voices on Facebook.
