Minutes later, gunshots echoed through the office — and one of the town’s most trusted citizens lay dying on the floor.

    What happens when privilege, violence, and the full weight of Georgian justice collide?In today’s episode, we uncover one of the most extraordinary moments in British criminal history: the 1760 execution of Laurence, Earl Ferrers — the last aristocrat ever hanged at TyburnThis astonishing case has everything that captivates lovers of historical true crime:• a nobleman whose violent temper shook his household,• a murder that shocked Georgian society,• a sensational trial before the House of Lords, and• the rare spectacle of a peer of the realm facing the gallows alongside common felons.We follow Ferrers from the oak-panelled rooms of his Leicestershire estate to the packed streets of London, where thousands gathered to witness a moment the country had never seen before — and would never see again. His downfall reveals the tensions of class, power, madness, and justice in 18th-century Britain.And to finish, we lighten the mood with a rollicking trip to Hyde Park’s Speakers’ Corner, 1894 — where Victorian democracy meets spirited heckling and public oratory at its most colourful.If you enjoy:• Georgian & Victorian true crime• forensic and legal history• executions at Tyburn• scandals among Britain’s elite• stories where society’s “untouchable” finally meets the law……this is an episode we think you'll like.👤 Narrated by Robin Coles 📅 New episodes: Monday, Wednesday & Friday 🎞️ Long-form historical crime compilations: Final Sunday of every month 📚 Related cases from the archive: 1718 - 1767: Remarkable executions | EP388https://www.patreon.com/posts/remarkable-1718-113160724?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link 1729 & 1768: The Dark Side of Aristocracy in 1700's | Ep290https://www.patreon.com/posts/dark-side-of-in-112156703?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link1761: Terrible Theodore Gardelle | Ep208 https://www.patreon.com/posts/terrible-artist-116300250?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link❤️ Support Independent History If you enjoy our ad-free, archive-based storytelling, help us keep the lantern lit: 👉 **Patreon** – Full archive, early access, bonus compilations (and it keeps us independent): https://www.patreon.com/NewsOfTheTimesHistoricalCrime ☕ Prefer a one-off thank-you?

  • Catherine Wilson: Britain’s Female Borgia — The Last Woman Publicly Hanged in London
    Jan 5 2026

    Catherine Wilson: Britain’s Female Borgia — The Last Woman Publicly Hanged in LondonNews of the Times | Episode 600 | 1862A quiet lodger. A trail of unexplained deaths. And the last woman ever publicly hanged in London.In this episode, we investigate Catherine Wilson — the Victorian poisoner newspapers called “Britain’s Female Borgia.” Her story begins with a near-fatal “soothing draught” in a Kennington sickroom and unfolds into one of the most disturbing murder investigations of the 19th century.What seemed at first like a single attempted poisoning soon revealed a far darker truth. As police traced Wilson’s movements through London and Lincolnshire, they uncovered a pattern of sudden illnesses, vanished savings, altered wills, and victims who died in unmistakable agony.And behind each death stood the same gentle, soft-spoken woman.Join us as we explore:🕯️ The failed poisoning that finally exposed her🕯️ The lodging-house world of mid-century Britain — where killers could hide in plain sight🕯️ The suspicious deaths of Mrs Jackson, Peter Mawer, James Dixon, Mrs Soames, Mrs Atkinson, and others🕯️ The Victorian forensic limits that allowed her to evade justice for years🕯️ The Old Bailey trial that shocked the public🕯️ And the execution at Newgate that ended an era of female public hangingsAtmospheric, unsettling, and drawn entirely from the historical record, this is the chilling true story of a woman who moved unnoticed through the sickrooms of Victorian England — leaving devastation in her wake.✨ Further Particulars — A New Year’s Collection of Curious ProverbsTo open 2026 on a suitably elevated note, this week’s Further Particulars turns to that most scholarly of Victorian institutions… The Illustrated Police News.We’ve gathered a handful of wonderfully odd foreign proverbs from 1890 — sayings that range from the poetic to the practical to the frankly unhinged.Expect buffaloes, bears, burnt children, and at least one pig with questionable table manners.A light New Year’s reminder that across time and continents, human wisdom has always been a very mixed bag.👤 Narrated by Robin Coles

A wheelbarrow… a body… and a husband insisting it had all been a terrible accident. But as investigators examined the quarry, the path to Mortimer’s Cross, and William Haywood’s shifting story, a far darker truth emerged.This is The Wheelbarrow Murder — the brutal killing of Jane Haywood, the sensational trial that followed, and the historic execution that marked the end of an era in British justice.A story of poverty, exhaustion, domestic tension, forensic evidence, and a community forced to confront the thin line between accident and intention.We explore:🔸 Quarry life and the harsh world of rural labourers in 1903🔸 The discovery of Jane Haywood’s injuries — and why the “accident” story never held🔸 Witness testimony that unravelled the defence🔸 The inquest, the shocking medical findings, and the national press response🔸 The Hereford Assizes, the judge’s reasoning, and the final death sentence🔸 The last execution ever carried out at Hereford GaolFurther ParticularsBecause Victorian Britain could make even a funeral dangerous.

  • The Workhouse Path Murder — South Wales, 1902 | A Fatal December Evening
    Dec 29 2025

    The Workhouse Path Murder — South Wales, 1902 | A Fatal December Evening
    News of the Times | Episode 597 | 1902
    Southeast Wales, 1902.
    A woman runs bleeding down a narrow workhouse path, four children behind her screaming “Murder!” into the cold December air.
    Moments earlier, she was walking with the man who had vowed she would never have another home.

    Today we uncover one of the most chilling and deeply human domestic murder cases of Edwardian South Wales — a tragedy witnessed entirely by children, shaped by poverty, jealousy, alcohol, and the harsh realities of the workhouse system.

    This episode explores:
    • The world of the lodging houses and the Bedwellty Workhouse
    • The final walk up the walled footpath
    • Eyewitness testimony from neighbours and children
    • Medical evidence and early forensic interpretation
    • The attempted defence of delirium tremens
    • The Edwardian court and the rapid machinery of justice
    • The social pressures that gave rise to the crime

    It is a case that shocked the valleys — not for mystery, but for its stark inevitability.

    Join us as we retrace the final hours of Hannah Shea, and the violent jealousy that ended her life on a cold winter evening beneath the shadow of the workhouse.

    🕯️ FURTHER PARTICULARS
    Today’s end of episode lighter (and explosively cautionary) tale comes from Belfast, where a Christmas pudding met its untimely end via a tin of petrol mistaken for syrup.

    The results? Flaming dessert, melted gas pipes, and a moral lesson for us all...

  • Stalked by Her Brother-in-Law: The Christmas Murder That Shook Post-War Britain | Liverpool, 1918
    Dec 26 2025

    Stalked by Her Brother-in-Law: The Christmas Murder That Shook Post-War Britain | Liverpool, 1918
    News of the Times | Episode 595 |1918
    As Britain celebrated the end of the Great War, one young Liverpool widow was facing a danger far closer to home.

    This week, we step into December 1918, a moment when church bells rang for peace, soldiers returned to broken households, and thousands of war widows tried to rebuild lives reshaped by loss.
    But for Mary Ellen Rooney, a 32-year-old widow raising four children, the threat did not come from the battlefield —
    it lived across the street.

    After months of unwanted attention, jealousy, and open threats from her brother-in-law, Mary’s attempts to find safety ended in a Paddington corner shop on a cold November afternoon.
    Witnesses would describe what happened next as sudden, furious, and chillingly deliberate.

    Why did this case — shocking, public, and tragic — receive almost no press coverage at the time?
    What can it tell us about post-war Britain, the pressures on returning soldiers, and the precarious position of the women left behind?
    And how did one man’s fixation escalate into murder just weeks after the Armistice?

    In tonight’s episode, we uncover:
    The realities of life in 1918 Liverpool after the war
    The hidden dangers faced by war widows
    A deeply unsettling pattern of stalking and threats
    A murder that played out in broad daylight
    A trial that passed almost without notice
    And an execution carried out one week before Christmas

    For our Further Particulars, we turn to Widnes in 1881, where a revolver accident led to…
    another revolver accident — a Victorian tragedy so bizarre it defies summary.

  • Murder on the Winter Road: A Christmas Killing in Ballinrobe | True Crime 1880
    Dec 24 2025

    Murder on the Winter Road: A Christmas Killing in Ballinrobe | True Crime 1880
    News of the Times | Episode 594 | 1880
    A Christmas walk home… a dark boreen outside Ballinrobe… and two figures lying in wait.
    Tonight we return to County Mayo, Ireland, 1880, for a chilling winter murder that stunned a rural community and left questions hanging over the snow-covered road for generations.

    This is the story of Peter Mullen, a small farmer whose final journey took him through family quarrels, a mysterious sprinkling of holy water, and—according to his son—an ambush by two tall, clean-shaven men on a moonlit December night.
    But who really knew he would pass that way?
    And was this tragic killing a random act… or something far more calculated?

    In this episode we explore:
    • Life in Ballinrobe at Christmas, 1880
    • Domestic tensions and a bitter marital quarrel
    • Holy water, strange choices, and a wife in hiding
    • A son’s account that raised more questions than it answered
    • The midnight ambush on the frozen road
    • Why the suspects—his wife and two nephews—were ultimately released
    • How this case slipped quietly into the long history of unsolved Irish rural killings

    As always, we draw from contemporary newspaper reports and inquest testimony to follow the story as people of the time understood it.
    This episode includes material from:

    And in today’s Further Particulars, we detour briefly to Derbyshire—where a Victorian vicar, a bread knife, and a very excitable evening led half the parish straight to the magistrates’ court.

    Settle in with something warm and join us for The Christmas Road Murder: Ballinrobe, 1880—an atmospheric winter mystery where small choices, quiet tensions, and old grievances may have led a man straight into the line of fire.
