King’s Lynn’s Darker History: Conflicts, Murders, Executions.
This is NOT a Ghost Walk, but you will find out about: the community held to ransom, the massacred horses, the seven naked bodies, the three local aristocrats accused of treason, the fight and mistaken identity that led to war, the man who lost his eye and the woman who lost her arm, the missing body, the new whipping post; and, of course, the boiling and all the duckings, burnings, hangings, and quarterings.
King’s Lynn’s Darker History: Conflicts, Murders, and Executions will start at 18:00 and will be offered by King’s Lynn Town Guides on the following dates:
Thursday 02 May, Wednesday 19 June, Thursday 04 July, Thursday 01 August, Thursday 05 September, Thursday 10 October.
We would prefer you to book online (https://www.kingslynntownguides.co.uk/). However, in the event of any difficulty, just turn up to the Saturday Market Place and pay £5 on the night.
