A Visit to the Archives
Tomorrow I am hot-footing it to York City Archives, for a little last-minute Turpin research.
The Archives house some interesting documents I want to check out there while there is still time to add them to the Chronology I've created for inclusion at the end of the novel.
Here's what I'll be perusing:
- The Records of York Castle by Twyford and Griffiths
- York Courant execution etc 10.4.1739
- Richard Turpin, otherwise John Palmer - his naked body taken from a surgeon's house and carried through the streets - indictment 1739 E37/252
- Indictment for rescuing a person being conveyed to the House of Correction for retrieving the body of Richard Turpin 1739 E37/252-3
- Indictment of those who recovered his body from a surgeon's garden house and carried it naked through the streets 1739 E37/251-2
- recognizances to give evidence on above 4 May 1739 F 15
- 10 April 1739 Labourer surgeon for appearing re body E 81
- Note on burial and sale of skull, 1867 - James Raine Collection Acc 28: 13 & 47 YL/Ant
