"The Indecent Proposal of Edith Morrey takes us back to the gruesome events of 1812 and Faithful Thomas's Inquiry at the White Lion Pub in Hankelow, which led to the eventual trial at Chester Castle.
"The trial caused a media frenzy that quickly captured the public's imagination, as John Lomas and Edith Morrey faced not only Robert Dallas's court but also the court of public opinion."
