John Lilburne

During the turbulent time of the English Civil War, he was a political and religious radical, kept captive here awaiting trial for treason.

If found guilty, he will certainly be put to death.

Will a letter in the possession of his wife arrive in time to stop his execution?

Mary Blandy

Mary Blandy

A wealthy spinster confined here in privileged circumstances, accused of killing her father.

Blinded by  love, Mary’s tale is one of intrigue, poison and a broken heart.

The ultimate murder mystery: innocent victim or evil murderess?

You decide . . .

The Prison Warder

He takes his job seriously and firmly believes in locking up the inmates.
 
He is worldly wise and slightly cynical and states the prisoner should always know his place.
 
Upset him at your peril, he holds the keys!
