About the event

Body Snatching and Grave Robbing in Worcestershire
Hear from medical historian Kevin Goodman in a fascinating talk at The Commandery this autumn.

The body snatchers and grave robbers: their trade was to keep the ever-demanding medical schools supplied with the bodies of the recently deceased. But they weren’t confined to Edinburgh and London. They ranged across the West Midlands including Worcestershire. Discover the secrets behind their trade, the doctors who supported them, and their identities.
