‘The cruellest thing’ – The hanging of Eliza Fenning

1815: When her employer’s family became ill after a dinner of steak and dumplings Eliza Fenning was charged with attempted murder, found guilty at a hasty and shambolic trial and executed outside Newgate prison. Naomi Clifford explores the short life of a Regency-era servant whose case became one of the most contentious of the age.
