To celebrate Guy Fawkes Night on the fifth of November Sarah Doig looks at Suffolk fires over the centuries. This talk explores some of the more interesting and bizarre fire-related incidents in our county, including the 17th century town fire which saved a monarch's life, a celebrated case of spontaneous human combustion in the 1700s and a mysterious disease which almost wiped out a complete family.
