July 1791 CE

Most of the rioters have disbanded by the time the military finally arrives to restore order on the 17th and 18th, although there ware rumors that mobs are destroying property in Alcester and Bromsgrove.

All in all, four Dissenting churches have been severely damaged or burned down and twenty-seven homes had been attacked, many looted and burned.

Having begun by attacking those who attended the Bastille celebration on the 14th, the "Church-and-King" mob had finished up by extending their targets to include Dissenters of all kinds as well as members of the Lunar Society.
