When John Daniel of Beaminster died in mysterious circumstances in 1728, his relations and neighbours suspected he had been murdered by his stepmother. Their suspicions were only heightened when the ghosts of John and his mother – and an apparition of John’s coffin – were spotted in the church! Join us as we use some of the documents held at Dorset History Centre to investigate this spooky tale and see whether we can discover the truth behind John’s untimely demise! From the Stacks is our ongoing series of free public talks held on the last Wednesday of each month. These talks are designed to be short, enough to whet your appetite about the sorts of records we hold in our stacks!
