VICTORIAN MURDERS
IN ESSEX
An illustrated talk by Martyn Lockwood
“The records of the Spring Assizes for the past week teem with a horrible list of crimes, in number and atrocity unparalleled. The county of Essex, as usual, we are afraid we must say, stands first in odious and unenvied fame of criminal notoriety.” [The Guardian March 22, 1851]
Hear all about the infamous Moat Farm murder; the story of Sally Arsenic; the Doddinghurst Tragedy; Mary May and the Harwich Death Club, and other murders that shocked Victorian Essex.
