About this Event

Will you join historian Stuart Miller while he dives (feet first ) into a mind boggling array of mysteries….? With your expert help, by the end of the session Stuart will aim to close the case and solve some of the world’s biggest conundrums?

The format will be an illustrated presentation and discussion starting at 1.30pm and concluding at 3.30pm - with a break for coffee, tea and our famous scones .

Spaces are limited, so booking advised. £5.00per person to be paid on the day. The café will be open for hot and cold drinks and sweet treats


Cold Case 5: The Mary Celeste

The background.. . At 1 p.m. on Wednesday 4th December 1872 just off the coast of Portugal the crew of another vessel saw the Mary Celeste heading erratically and directly for them. They knew straight away something was awfully wrong.


Case notes.. .

An abandoned rigg steering her own course? A smouldering pipe? A warm teapot? No one on board? Was it M**der at high seas? Was it an insurance scam? Could a sea monster be responsible? Maybe pesky daleks!?
