Sir Nicholas Crispe and the Slave Trade

the Museum of London Archaeology service has recently done excavations on the Jacobean House of Sir Nicholas Crispe.

His house was used for the manufacture of glass beads which he used in his extensive slave trading with Africa.

The house was then used by General Fairfax and finally as a Sugar refinery.
