John Dee's Manchester (Part 2) – Everything But A Beach
John Dee – the "arch conjurer of England" – was to spend ten years in Manchester.

Chris, Dean and Yakub discuss the jealousy, local rivalries and petty rows that John Dee was forced to arbitrate during his time in the North of England.
We'll also uncover the sights, sounds, and entertainments of life in Manchester during the Tudor and Jacobean eras.
