September 24th talk – The Notorious Culworth Gang by Richard Blacklee

Back from our summer break this month we have local historian Richard Blacklee to take us back to the lawless 18th century with the story of an infamous Georgian Organised Crime Group (!)

The Culworth Gang terrorised Northamptonshire for over 15 years before finally being rounded up. The archetypal highwaymen they did not just prey on local travellers but engaged in a wide range of criminal activities. This is the story of their reign of terror and how a simple error led to their fall.
