Description
The story of those who met their end at Norwich's historic prisons is told in this comprehensive collection of true crime cases. From the earliest recorded executions in the 13th century to the last hangings in 1951, this book brings together a range of forgotten and lesser-known crimes. Notorious cases include the double execution of Frances Billing and Catherine Frary, known as 'The Burnham Poisoners', and the murder of James Blomfield Rush at Stanfield Hall. Other stories feature William Sheward, who confessed to his wife's murder nearly 18 years after the event, and Herbert Bennett, accused of the Yarmouth Bootlace Murder. Crime historian Neil R. Storey has researched Norfolk executions for over 20 years, gathering a wealth of information on the people and events behind these tragic stories.
