Hebden Bridge Local History Society
Murder at Snow Booth:
Gender and Justice between the wars
Speaker: Matilda Wilding
What can the story of a local 1933 murder tell us about gender and justice between the wars? What might it reveal about those same themes in the modern day?
It's midsummer. Hill top farmers above Hebden Bridge are taking in the hay. Evening is falling. The final act of a cruel and brutal marriage is about to play out.
Matilda Wilding is the creator of Yorkshire: A Murderous History a podcast in which historical homicides (and sinister mysteries) are investigated for the illumination of the past and insights into our present day. The often untold stories of Yorkshire's working class women are front and centre of her work.

Lawless Ladies: a thousand years
of female criminals
Speaker: Trish Colton with Diane Holloway
For more than a millennium women have been committing a range of crimes, including piracy, highway robbery, witchcraft and religious crimes. Some of these women were from Yorkshire, a few even from Calderdale. This talk describes the times, the women involved and the punishments they received.
Trish Colton and Diane Holloway are sisters who have lived in Yorkshire for many years and now retired. They write non-fiction books on historical themes, and enjoy having the time to carry out the research. Lawless Ladies is the second book that Trish and Diane have co-authored.
