Hello Mr Cornwell.
Uthed is a builder, he says so him self. He goes so far as to say he loves building. He also has great empathy for London, loving its hustle and bustle and its vibrance. Although the first stone bridge was not seen until 1209, could it not be possible for Uthred to be tasked with re-building the ruined bridge? I live and work in Wantage, Alfreds birth place, and so am surrounded and submersed everyday in Uthred’s struggles.
Many thanks for hours of contentment.
Phil Herbert
