Drawing on original documents, this book details Gloucestershire’s ten most notorious crimes, from the Campden Wonder of 1662, when a man reappeared after three people had been executed for killing him, to the Cheltenham torso murder of 1938. Illustrated with period images, it also recounts a fatal battle between poachers and gamekeepers, and a poisoning in the Forest of Dean.
Product information
Full publisher description
Contained within the pages of this book are the stories behind some of the most notorious murders in Gloucestershire's history. The cases covered here record the county's most fascinating but least known crimes, as well as famous murders that gripped not just Gloucestershire but the whole nation. From the Cheltenham torso murder to the Campden Wonder, when William Harrison returned to Chipping Campden after three people were executed for killing him; from a fatal battle between poachers and gamekeepers near Berkeley to poisoning in the Forest of Dean, this is a collection of the country's most dramatic and interesting criminal cases.
