What a story we have for you this time! Our new episode recounts the life of Margaret Catchpole - farm girl, heroine, criminal, and pioneer. Born in Suffolk in 1762, Margaret’s life was a rollercoaster of dramatic events, encompassing daring rescues, even more daring escapes, and an ill fated love affair with a smuggler named William Laud. Her story offers a rare insight into the life of an unorthodox woman living in the late 18th/early 19th century. Along the way we also meet brewing tsar ‘Big John’ Cobbold and his young wife Elizabeth, a pioneer of scientific endeavour in her own right. Oh, and Katy is back! Yes, Katy joins us for this most exciting of tales, and we drink smuggler’s tea and a Horse’s Neck with a Kick cocktail. Fun all round! Permalink
