Step into the enigmatic world of Herbert Rouse Armstrong, the only solicitor in British history to be hanged for murder.

Known as the "Hay Poisoner," Armstrong's story is a gripping tale of deception, betrayal, and lethal ambition. Set in the tranquil village of Hay-on-Wye, this riveting account unravels the calculated moves of a man who wielded both charm and poison with deadly precision.

As a respected lawyer, Armstrong masked his sinister side, crafting a meticulously planned murder that shocked the nation.

The case has all the ingredients of a classic murder mystery; indeed, it is a near-perfect whodunnit. But who, in fact, did do it? Was Armstrong really a murderer?

Immerse yourself in the intricate details of his life, trial, and eventual downfall. Experience the suspense and uncover the mind behind the crime.

Discover the legacy of Herbert Rouse Armstrong - a chilling narrative that will leave you questioning the boundaries of trust and treachery.

The travelling costs will be stated from the outset so there will be no nasty surprises. Payment is at the time of the presentation, or within 7 days if a prior agreement has been made. An Invoice will be supplied.

This talk is suitable for Zoom.

I am based in Thetford, Norfolk, but happy to travel.

I am now a Town Crier and have been a speaker for over 20 years.
