Crime Club: Georgian Female Killers & Cultists
In our latest instalment of Crime Club, uncover the stories of women who committed crimes in Georgian Nottinghamshire and were imprisoned within our County Gaol.
What drove them to offend, and what were their crimes?
Explore the harsh realities of 18th-century prison life, where women faced overcrowding, poor conditions, and unequal treatment. Discover how justice was served, from transportation and execution to public humiliation, and the fates of those who spent time in gaol.
Step into a darker past and uncover the lives of Nottingham’s most intriguing female offenders.
Real crimes. Real stories. Real evidence.
Join us for the latest instalment of Crime Club on Thursday 28 May, a chance to discover more about infamous crime cases from history. Free drink included!
