Did you know . . . In one of the last executions in Norwich Castle
Gaol in 1885 an event so horrible occurred that a shadow was cast
on the nation's Public Executioner for the rest of his career? And
Matthew Hopkins, 'The Witchfinder General', found witches in King's
Lynn, Norwich and Great Yarmouth in the mid-seventeenth century?
Have you ever wondered about the darker history of Norfolk? If you
have then enquire within. This almanac explores dreadful deeds,
macabre deaths, strange occurrences and grim tales from the shadier
side of the county's past. Jostling for position in this cornucopia
of the criminal and curious are diverse tales of highwaymen,
smugglers, murderers, bodysnatchers, duellists, footpads, poachers,
rioters and rebels. This sordid cast of characters is deservedly
accompanied by accounts of lock-ups, prisons, bridewells and
punishments, as well as a liberal smattering of bizarre funerals,
disasters and peculiar medicine. If it's horrible, if it's ghastly,
if it's strange, it's here - and if you have the stomach for it,
then read on . . .
