The Marfleet Murder with Mike Covell

Local historian, tour guide and author Mike Covell talks about the 1891 Marfleet murder, on which he has written a book.

August and September 1891 in Hull and surrounding environs was, by all accounts, hot. Industry was thriving, the port was trading well, and all seemed to be fine, until a young girl went missing from her home and was later found brutally murdered.

Now, over 120 years after the murder, the full story is revealed. Featuring a cast of characters, a psychic, and a dog arrested and imprisoned for murder. This is a tragic tale like no other.

The Marfleet Murder Mystery reveals what really happened to Mary Jane Langley in a lonely field between Hull, Marfleet, and Preston in 1891.

Entry is £1 for members, £2 for non members.
