A talk for Belper Historical Society by Sylvia Mason. Did the Strutts unwittingly cause the Pentrich Revolution? Did the Strutts support the rebels by declining jury service and pushing for pardons? Joseph Douglas Strutt wrote to his cousin, Edward, about the executions “People are flocking into Derby … Good God, are these things to be suffered much longer in our free and happy land”.
