A Forger in the Family

Date: 15th April 2026
Time: 19:30
Location: The Bow Room at The Exchange, Sturminster Newton
Blackmore Vale Group

When Rachel discovered a forger in the family, her research uncovered lots more about the crime and other C18th lawbreakers: the schoolmaster pressed into the Royal Navy who became a forger on discharge; the exciseman who found himself out of pocket when whisky production was regulated; the architect who was transported to Australia for forgery and ended up on a (legal) bank note.                              
Speaker: Rachel Rowe
