THE DEMISE OF RICHARD THOMAS PARKER – The last man to be publicly hanged in Nottingham on 10 August 1864
About this Event

Catherine Pincott-Allen (a.k.a. Emmaline Severn), a family descendant of the perpetrator, will bring a dark story from 1864 to you.


AN OFFENCE SO RANK IT SMELLS TO HEAVEN, A MOTHER’S M**der!


Newark was where Parker had a butcher’s shop on Stodman Street; he married at St Mary Magdalene’s Church, and he was a frequent visitor to the many public houses in town!


Catherine will walk you through the events that led up to this felonious crime, take you to the M**der scene, introduce you to the postmortem and lead you into the courtroom where you will decide his fate.


WHAT WILL YOU DECIDE?
