Join retired police detective and author Neil Berrett as he tells the true story of a respected Victorian artillery soldier who went onto commit the most horrific of crimes.
On a September day in 1905, Peter Robert Head, a beloved father and retired sergeant major in the Royal Artillery, committed what is believed to be the largest mass murder in the county of Wiltshire, shattering his family and appalling the country. The victims were six of his own young children.
Neil’s talk explores his research into Head’s early life, military career and family life. It then goes on to tell the inspirational stories of the survivors of that terrible day.
Tickets are £7 and include a free tea or coffee, copies of Six Little Heads will be available for purchase and a Q+A with the author will take place.
