    "A group of angry locals, feeling justice had not been done enough to their standards, descended on her cottage and destroyed the building" She was strung up! What more did they expect of justice!

      I doubt they owned the cottage so probably the landlord was the one who they actually punished.

    It's great to have you back, I have missed my Little Bit of History. Your stories are always interesting.

    I like these videos. They are concise enough to be interesting but not so long as to become boring.

    • @alittlebitofhistory

      Thank you, I try to keep them to a decent length that will entertain but not feel like it is dragging on.

    Glad you're back. Hope the move went as well as it can. Wonderful illustrations as always. I'm sure there are many other women who feel the same way. I wonder what happened to their 7 year old child. I can't imagine what he went through. I wonder why they didn't fill the hole back in then it might not have been found. Interesting post.

    A billhook is used primarily for pruning, clearing brush, and trimming hedgerows. It’s something most English farmers would have possessed.

    Sounds like she found romance in the afterlife.

    First I thought Martha to be of low mental faculties, making such a poor and amateurish job of getting rid of both the victim and the murder weapon.
    But her very gracious act towards Mary following her death sentence, rather shows how desperate (and maybe drunk, too) this woman must have been.

    Ach, and this is why you go to see the wise woman about a toad, Martha. What a mess...I like the idea of her being billhook buddies with her fellow ghost, it's cute. The days before divorce was easily available to common folk (women especially) were certainly wild: I personally know two people whose great-grandmothers were quietly known to have offed drunken/violent husbands, and I can well believe that Martha would have trusted her best friend to help bury both the body and the story.

    Happy New year to you.
    At the end you mentioned a ghost, did you get the name of the supposed ghost mixed up! was it Martha Alden or Mary Orvins.

    It is 3/24/22 and I have seen this one (and that's ok), but I'm deeply concerned about my favorite History/Norfolk/Storyteller guy. I hope you're situation is salubrious, or leastways not limiting your lifestyle. I guess I selfishly need (want) a Norfolk/British uplifter. I hope you are well, and good luck.
