About this title

Synopsis:

Maiming, brutal murders, crimes of passion, suicides and executions; Chesterfield has all these and more in 'Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths in Chesterfield'. The scenic landscape of Chesterfield presents a pleasant face to its visitors, but a study of its past shows that it has often been a dangerous place to live. Exploring a catalogue of crimes, some of which are little known with others still claim media attention today. 'Foul Deeds and Suspicious deaths in Chesterfield' has a blood stained thread of crime that is followed from the Parish Church Murders of 1422 through later centuries to the more recent Bubble Car Killings and the Slaughter at Pottery Cottage. What unfolds is a dark chronology of the criminal past of Chesterfield. Take a journey into the darker and unknown side of your area as you read 'Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths in Chesterfield'.
