In this gripping episode of Blood Ties, Geoffrey and Molly Wansell delve into the chilling case of Catherine Wilson — the so-called “Victorian Poisoner.” A trusted nurse who turned her patients' trust into a death sentence, Wilson used poison to line her pockets, leaving a trail of mysterious deaths behind. The Wansells unravel how a woman meant to heal became Britain's last woman publicly hanged, executed outside Newgate in 1862. With their trademark mix of intrigue and insight, they expose the hypocrisy, greed, and horror lurking beneath Victorian respectability. It's a story of betrayal, cold calculation — and the darkest side of human nature.CREDITS: Presenters: Geoffrey and Molly WansellProducer: Peter Shevlin https://pod60.com/Artwork: George LeighMusic: Dan WansellCONTACT: Twitter: @BloodTies_PodInstagram: bloodties_podEmail: bloodties.podcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bloodtiespodcastSupport: patreon.com/bloodtiespodcastPlease complete our survey if you have time: http://bit.ly/bloodtiespodcast-survey Hosted on Acast.

If you've ever read any Charles Dickens novels, especially Great Expectations, then you'll have run into Newgate Prison. The hulking, notorious jail loomed large in London's history, before its demolition in 1902. While accurate execution statistics are difficult to find, there's a suggestion that over 1000 people faced capital punishment at the prison between 1790 and 1902. The old execution bell rests in a glass case in nearby St Sepulchre-without-Newgate, rung the night before an execution as a reminder to the condemned. So how did this prison gain such a fearsome reputation? How has it survived well beyond its early 20th-century demolition? Let's find out in this week's episode!

Aunque no sean seres celestiales sino de carne y hueso como tú y yo, con sus defectos y virtudes, son verdaderas mensajeras del cielo. Transmiten el mensaje de amor, de esperanza, de futuro y de cambio que transmiten los ángeles por orden de Dios. Y empeñan vida y recursos para transmitirlo. Una de esas personas fue una mujer inglesa llamada Elizabeth Fry, a quien la gente dio en llamar «el ángel de la cárcel».Todo comenzó cuando, a la edad de dieciséis años, Elizabeth oyó predicar al norteamericano William Savery. Conmovida, comenzó a recoger ropa para los pobres, a visitar a los enfermos de su vecindario y a enseñar a niños a leer. Quince años después, fue a la cárcel de mujeres de Newgate y, lo que vio, la horrorizó. Estaba plagada de mujeres, muchas de ellas encarceladas sin juicio previo por no poder hacer frente a las deudas de sus esposos fallecidos. Vivían y dormían en un mismo lugar, y apenas tenían qué comer. Elizabeth regresó al día siguiente con ropa, comida y un programa para enseñarlas a leer a ellas y a sus hijos, que vivían también en la cárcel.Comenzó un plan de ayuda sistemática que incluía regalarles una Biblia para que se fortalecieran espiritualmente, y enseñarles a coser para que, cuando recobraran su libertad, pudieran ganarse la vida. Con el tiempo llegó a crear la Sociedad de Mujeres Británicas para la Reforma de las Prisioneras, reconocida por historiadores como la primera organización de mujeres de Gran Bretaña.Elizabeth pasó noches enteras en la cárcel acompañando a aquellas mujeres, e incluso invitó a gentes de la nobleza, de manera que pudieran ver por sí mismas las condiciones en que vivían las prisioneras. De ese modo recaudó fondos para seguir con su labor y, entre sus principales benefactoras, se encontraba la mismísima reina Victoria.Elizabeth Fry se ganó el respeto, el cariño y la admiración de la sociedad británica en su conjunto, y sobre todo los de las personas más desfavorecidas. Doscientos años después, se ha ganado también mi admiración. Su vida es la personificación de un sermón que me invita a hacer lo mismo. Allí donde pueda echar una mano, Señor, permíteme hacerlo, y que no sea el impulso de un solo día, sino un plan sistemático, un estilo de vida.«Los que trabajan para beneficiar a otros trabajan en unión con los ángeles celestiales». Elena G. de White

Newgate's Henry Field on the Sales this week and also an update on Royal Ascot bound Artorius

Newgate prison served as the main punitive facility in London for six centuries until it closed in 1902. If you expect this genre to be limited to country houses and The Ton, you might be surprised at how often authors invoke Newgate in their stories. Newgate as a recurring thematic space becomes shorthand for terror, grime, and pain. What's the effect then when it's invoked in a romance novel? In this episode, the rakes cover Newgate itself and several books that fictionalize Newgate. Much of what we talk about stems from Emma's current research on Newgate.Support us on our PATREONFollow us on social media: Twitter: @reformedrakesInstagram: @reformedrakesBeth's TikTokChels' TikTokEmma's TikTokChels' SubstackEmma's Substack Visit our website for transcripts and show notes: reformedrakes.comThank you for listening!

The Black Dog of Newgate is a legend concerning the haunting of Newgate Prison of London. This account of a haunting based at the prison is an example of the English Black Dog category of supernatural manifestation, featuring a spectral hound of ill-omen or malicious intent, which is a notable archetype in British folklore and superstition… Stay safe out there.

Joined by Beverley Cook of the Museum of London, we delve into the long, murky, often intriguing history of executions in London. Enter at your peril! As ever, we look at the people, places and events that surround the executions, and see how they became a public fixture in London's calendar. Brits are an enterprising bunch, and that is no different here, with people making money from the spectacle and pageantry of an execution day. Why were executioners allowed to keep the rope? Who was Mother Proctor and how did she make a living? How did one man become synonymous with the parades from Newgate to Tyburn? Plus we meet some old friends along the way, like Jack Sheppard, jail-breaker extraordinaire. Visit https://www.ladieswholondon.com for more information. Get in touch!

The Million Pound Bank Note by Mark Twain词汇提示1.Duke 公爵2.Duchess 公爵夫人 3.Earl 子爵4.Countess 子爵夫人5.Lord 勋爵6.Ambassador 大使7.precedence 优先原文Chapter Six: The Dinner PartyThere were fourteen people at the dinner party.The Duke and Duchess of Shoreditch, and their daughter, Lady Anne-Grace-Eleanorde Bohun, the Earl and Countess of Newgate, Viscount Cheapside, Lord and Lady Blatherskite, the Ambassador and his wife and daughter, and some other people.There was also a beautiful, twenty-two-year old English girl, named Portia Langham. I fell in love with her in two minutes, and she with me!After a while, the house servant presented another guest, Mr Lloyd Hastings.When Mr Hastings saw me, he said, "I think I know you.""Yes, you probably do.""Are you the -the - ""Yes, I'm the strange millionaire with the million-pound note in his pocket!""Well, well, this is a surprise. I never thought you were the same Henry Adams from San Francisco! Six months ago, you were working in the offices of Blake Hopkins in San Francisco. I remember clearly. You had a very small salary. And, at night, you helped me arrange the papers for the Gould and Curry Mining Company. Now you're a millionaire, a celebrity here in London. I can't believe it! How exciting!""I can't believe it, either, Lloyd.""Just three months ago, we went to the Miner's Restaurant - ""No, no, it was the What Cheer Restaurant.""Right, it was the What Cheer. We went there at two o'clock in the morning. We had steak and coffee. That night we worked for six long hours on the Gould and Curry Mining Company papers. Do you remember, Henry, I asked you to come to London with me. I wanted you to help me sell the Gould and Curry gold mine shares. But you refused." "Of course I remember. I didn't want to leave my job in San Francisco.And, I still think it's difficult to sell shares of a California gold mine here in London.""You were right, Henry. You were so right. It is impossible to sell these shares here in London. My plan failed and I spent all my money. I don't want to talk about it.""But you must talk about it. When we leave the dinner party, you must tell me what happened.""Oh, can I? I really need to talk to a friend," Lloyd said, with water in his eyes."Yes, I want to hear the whole story, every word of it.""Thank you, Henry. You're a true friend."At this point, it was time for dinner.Thanks to the English system of precedence,t here was no dinner.The Duke of Shoreditch wanted to sit at the head of the table.The American Ambassador also wanted to sit at the head of the table.It was impossible for them to decide, so we had no dinner.The English know about the system of precedence.They have dinner before going out to dinner.But strangers know nothing about it.They remain hungry all evening.Instead, we had a dish of sardines and a strawberry.Now it was time for everyone to play a game called cribbage.The English never play a game for fun.They play to win or to lose something.Miss Langham and I played the game, but with little interest.I looked at her beautiful face and said, "Miss Langham, I love you!""Mr Adams," she said softly and smiled, "I love you too!"This was a wonderful evening.Miss Langham and I were very happy. We smiled, laughed and talked.I was honest with her.I told her that I was poor and that I didn't have a cent in the world.I explained that the million-pound note was not mine.She was very curious to know more.I told her the whole story from the start.She laughed and laughed.She thought the story was very funny.I didn't understand why it was funny.I also explained that I needed an important job with a big salary to pay all my debts."Portia, dear, can you come with me on the day I must meet those two gentlemen? ""Well, yes, if I can help you," she replied."Of course you can help me. You are so lovely that when the two gentlemen see you, I can ask for any job and any salary. With you there, my sweet Portia, the two gentlemen won't refuse me anything."

The Jury said: Guilty. The Judge said: Death. By hanging.

Built during the twelfth century, Newgate Prison in London became well known as a place of great cruelty and wretchedness, with a lack of regard for the humans inside its walls. It was reserved for some of the most notorious prisoners ever held under the death sentence. It lacked fresh air and drinkable water. Punishment was so inhumane that death was a blessed relief for the inmates.The story of Newgate Prison is a witness to humanity's capacity to inflict pain and suffering upon each other.The things that went on at Newgate over the centuries were looked at as normal conduct for their time but now we just shudder at these stories!Join us for this episode of the TRUE HAUNTINGS PODCAST.#newgateprison #hauntedlondon #haunteduk #ukprisons #ghost #hauntednewgateprison #behindbars #hauntings #paranormal #torturebehindbars #supernaturalstories #truehauntingspodcast #anneandrenata #podcastinghauntedstories #paranormalpodcast #podcastinganneandrenata #paranormal #londonhistory #newgatepoltergeist #poltergeist See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, Britons were subject to a penal system including up to 220 crimes punishable by death. These offences ranged from murder to theft, from arson to wearing blackface while poaching. Even young children, were subject to these draconian penalties. In this episode I explore the era of the so-called "bloody code" and explain how it developed, the level of enforcement, and the reasons for its demise. In this documentary style episode I interview two experts on this era in British History.

"twelve working-class people were killed"

On this episode of the Irish History Show we were joined by Anne Chambers to discuss her book, The Great Leviathan, The life of Howe Peter Browne, 2nd Marquess of Sligo, 1788 - 1845. His story moves from Westport House in county Mayo to Eton, into the staid family world of King George III at Windsor Castle; through wild student days at Cambridge, on to Regency London and the scandalous world of celebrity, gambling clubs, bawd houses and theatres, to the sophisticated salons of Paris. Horse racing at Newmarket and the Curragh (he was a founder member of the Irish Turf Club) treasure-seeking with his college friend Lord Byron in Greece and Turkey, some of his ‘finds' are on view in the British museum. A sensational trial at the Old Bailey in 1812 led to his imprisonment in Newgate goal. There is a hint of double-espionage about his time at the court of Joachim Murat, King of Naples and with Napoleon Bonaparte on the island of Elba, while his sleuthing in Italy on behalf of the ‘prince of pleasure' George IV, (godfather to his eldest son) on the King's equally debauched consort, Caroline, is in the realm of high comedy. A passionate advocate of Catholic Emancipation, multi-denominational educationand reform of the nefarious legal system, he did his best to alleviate the desperate circumstances of his numerous tenants, aggravated by a rapid rise in population and by the ‘curse of sub-division'. He established manufacturing outlets in Westport as an alternative to the over dependence on land and encouraged trade, mining, fishingand kelp harvesting. As famine engulfed the west in 1831 he imported food, built a hospital and raised money for relief and public works. In 1834 Sligo was appointed Governor General of Jamaica and the Cayman Islands. As owner of two plantations, Kelly's and Cocoa Walk, which he inherited from his grandmother, Elizabeth Kelly, daughter of Galway-born Denis Kelly, former Chief Justice of Jamaica, the planters expected the new governor to be on their side.Sligo's stated objective on his arrival on the island ‘to establish a social system absolved forever from the reproach of slavery' however, set them on a bitter collision course.Sligo found slavery personally abhorrent. From the flogging of field workers with the dreaded cart-whip, branding with hot iron, to the whipping of female slaves, ‘I call on you to put an end to conduct so repugnant to humanity' he ordered the Jamaican House of Assembly. To restrain the worse excesses he personally monitored the activities of the sixty special magistrates appointed to investigate charges of brutality in the 900 plantations throughout the island. Much to the derision of their masters ‘he [Sligo] gave a patient hearing to the poorest Negro who might carry his grievance to Government House'.He advocated the building of schools for the black population, two of which he built at his own cost on his property. He was the first plantation owner to initiate a wage system for black workers and later, after emancipation in 1838, to divide his lands into farms leased to the former slaves. The Planter-dominated Assembly accused Sligo of ‘interpreting the law in favour of the negro' and, as he wrote, ‘set out to make Jamaica too hot to hold me.' They withdrew his salary and started a campaign of vilification against him in the Jamaican and British press which, backed by powerful vested commercial interests, resulted in his removal from office in September 1836.
