A tale of deception, intrigue and Murder

It is the evening of the  Moonshine Drinks annual prize giving 

but will the evening go according to plan? Or will a bitter murderer sour the evening?

The year is 1965. Lady Penelope Forrester, Lady Camilla Hamilton, Giles Hamilton and Gabriella Giotto are all at the Sandringham Club in the 

Stourport Manor Hotel waiting for Sir Peter Forrester to arrive before Giles can pop the question to Gabriella, the love of his life. Sir Peter was coming home from Brussels where he had been negotiating a trade deal. He had parked over the road close to the venue ready to join the party. The group are all discussing whether they are going to be skiing to St Moritz or warmer climes to the South of France for the sun or Gabriella’s choice of Cortina in the Italian Dolomites. Just idle chit chat. A few references as to where Peter is, and unreliable transport will have made him late. Will this evening go to plan?

It’s Evening. Jeremiah Johnson is settling down for the night in the doorway he uses to sleep. It’s been ten years now since he lost everything. 

Jeremiah was the foremost expert in Ripperology in London.

However, a jealous rival ended his career with lies and deceit.

Jeremiah lost his wife, home, respect, and money fighting his evil rival Thaddeus Redman! Jeremiah has vowed to get even one day and regain his reputation.

Could this night be the way back for him?

Jeremiah is determined to help the police catch the person responsible for a string of violent murders and clear his name.

Tonight will see the recording of a paranormal programme “who’s got ghoulies?” a new programme on ghostly goings on. It is about a stately home, Bramworth Hall. It was the home of Sir Jimmy Shand, it was his family seat but he was the last of the Shand line so it looked like it would belong to the Heritage Trust, be restored so that visitors could come and see the beautiful house and grounds.

In 1899 Victoria Bellamy hanged herself in the attic of  STOURPORT MANOR.

 Her story is one that was abundant in those days. She was used by the son of Sir Michael Howard, Julian, he promised her the world, but when he found out she was having his baby he left her, penniless and without any help, she was a housemaid in the Manor. Sir Michael and Lady Howard helped her as much as possible, but she could not cope with the shame of it. She hanged herself on 7th November 1899.

HAUNTING MATILDA IS SET IN 2024 AT THE BOARDING SCHOOL KILLHAM HALL.
