Judging Parker - The Verdict with Angel Emporium

Richard Thomas Parker was the last man to be publicly hanged in Nottingham on 10 August 1864 outside what is now the National Justice Museum. His crime? He had shot and killed his mother in the village of Fiskerton. Parker was tried and found guilty of wilful murder—but would today’s jury reach the same verdict?

Author and Parker family descendant Catherine Pincott-Allen (writing as Emmaline Severn) has meticulously researched the Parker family and the events that led to the shooting. In this fascinating evening of historical storytelling she invites audiences to hear the case consider the evidence and return their own verdict.

Was Richard Parker truly guilty of this heinous crime—or is there more to the story?

161 years later a new jury will decide his fate.

Only £15 per person (over 16's only)
