Freeborn John by Pauline Gregg
Taken from wikipedia:
"John Lilburne (1614 – 29 August 1657), also known as Freeborn John, was an English political Leveller before, during and after the English Civil Wars 1642–1650. He coined the term "freeborn rights", defining them as rights with which every human being is born, as opposed to rights bestowed by government or human law.[1] In his early life he was a Puritan, though towards the end of his life he became a Quaker. His works have been cited in opinions by the United States Supreme Court.[2]" |

Have this book, fantastic insight into the creation of modern political thought. John Lilburne was the first giant of English radicalism.
Also, Peter Ackroyd's History of England Vol III - Civil War, deals with the run up to the cataclysm of the C17th Wars of Religion. |

Try Alan moore ' s voice of the fire, a fiction history of Northampton! I know it doesn't sound like much but it's a stunning and occasionally challenging read
Anything by Neil gaiman is good too! If you fancy something of a more comic/graphic novel flavour I can give you a massive list  |

ditto on Neil Gaiman, the one about the lad in the cemetery is very good even if its aimed at a younger audience.. |
