Bloody Kenilworth: A Halloween Talk by Crime Historian Adam Wood
27 October 2024 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Real life Halloween horror! Join local crime historian Adam Wood for an illustrated talk on the seedier side of Kenilworth, as he reveals misdeeds committed between 1790 and 1928.
Learn how the former caretaker of the Kenilworth Baths on Abbey Fields, bristling with resentment over his dismissal, made sure his successor met a watery end; how a one-armed man became one of the earliest motor fatalities when he was struck by a speeding driver outside the Royal Oak; and how the thirteen year old Kenilworth girl employed as a nursemaid ended up at Warwick charged with murder.
And that’s not to mention the man who discovered Jack the RIpper’s hideout on Kenilworth Common…
The talk takes place at the Copper House Club in Kenilworth, formerly the town’s Police station.
Copies of Adam’s book Bloody Kenilworth will be available to purchase on the night.
Tickets £10: Online via Eventbrite or in person at the Copper House Club.
