The tale of the Black Dog of Bungay and the infamous attack on the
church of St Marys in 1577, has inspired and fascinated residents
and visitors to the town for centuries along with tales of Black
Shuck the Ghostly Dog of Norfolk. To this day sightings of the
Black Dog are common through the region and form an integral part
of local folklore and myth. At the same time, the history of the
legend itself tells its own tale of the town of Bungay and how the
community has responded to crisis through local folklore and myth.
This book, a collaborative effort between local historian
Christopher Reeve and historian and anthropologist Dr David
Waldron, traces the rise of this story from its origins in the
trauma of the English Reformation to the contemporary era where it
has become a central part of Bungay's communal and civic identity
and a colourful and intriguing aspect of local folklore.
