Do you have the crime solving skills to end a 300 year old mystery?It is 1725 and a body has been found in the Fisherman’s Chapel at Winchester Cathedral. Identified by local residents as Elwyn Wollaston, it is evident he met a violent end.
Despite significant efforts, no one has ever been identified as the perpetrator.
Using crime scene reconstruction, available evidence from the time of the murder and our contemporary understanding of homicide, can you put this 300 year old murder to rest?
Suitable for ages 13+. We recommend booking early to avoid disappointment as this annual event always sells out.
Led by the University of Winchester’s Faculty of Law, Crime and Justice.
