The Penge Mystery: Harriet Staunton's Tragic Tale of Betrayal and Cruelty
Manage episode 451098303 series 3573952
Episode 28 Trevors!! In this episode, Rach (yes we know, it should be Han, but life got busy) dives into the harrowing case of Harriet Staunton, a wealthy South London woman subjected to unimaginable cruelty at the hands of her husband and his accomplices. From the chilling neglect she endured to the courtroom spectacle that shocked Victorian England, this story will leave you feeling icky...
But it's not all doom and gloom - We also discuss why finding each other at a gig feels like playing 'Where's Wally', some fascinating facts about Penge (or is it Annerley?), and how we plan to convince you excellent Trevors to join us on Instagram!
