The FOBLC is proud to be hosting a reading of a new book about Jane Clouson, 'Pretty Jane and the Viper of Kidbrooke Lane' on Saturday 16th July from 2.30pm – 4pm at the Chapel in Ladywell Cemetery.
Author Paul Thomas Murphy, who also wrote the excellent Shooting Victoria, has extensively researched the death of Jane Clouson and has conclusively identified the killer's true identity. Her murder led to widespread unrest, exacerbated by the fact that the main suspect was acquitted. When she was buried in the Deptford (now Brockley) Cemetery, thousands followed her cortege; public subscription paid for the striking monument.
Paul Murphy has published his findings in this new book, and will be reading extracts. Attendees will also be able to visit the grave. Copies of the book will be available at the special price of £15 (cash only) Plus local composer and musician Hugh Shrapnel will play a specially composed piece in memory of Jane Clouson
