William Sheward: The Misogynistic Monster Of Tabernacle Street
Listen now
Description
Advisory: injury detail Not much is known about William Sheward, a Victorian tailor-turned-pawnbroker. He loved the company of women – except, it seems, his wife. Did he marry her for love, or for money? Was William climbing the social ladder, or cooking up a get-rich-quick scheme? The couple had a fiery relationship that flared up when they hit hard times. Their fall from grace preceded possibly the most gruesome crime ever committed in Norfolk — the Norwich Tabernacle Street Murder. Featuring Graham Lewis from Anglia News as the voice of H. Woodcock. The March Of The Women, by Ethel Smythe, is performed by the Rainbow Chorus. English Folk Music (live performance) recorded by David Ward and the Gibraltar Pub in Harpenden, Herts, and available on YouTube.
