About this Event
The walk will guide you around Dorchester in the footsteps of the infamous 'hanging' judge, Baron Jeffreys. We will show you his lodgings and consider his courthouse. During the 'Bloody Assizes' of 1685, Jeffreys presided over the trials for the failed Monmouth Rebellion against King James II, making him a notorious figure - come and experience the gore and horror associated with Jeffreys!
