Discover London

Reverend Benjamin Russen


Listen Later

David and Derek explore shady characters in the late 1700’s around the east end, in particular the sentencing of The Reverend Benjamin Russen whose historical sex abuse case in 1777 established an important legal precedent. Back when public executions were a form of entertainment, we look at Tyburn and other such sites.
